Trailing arm spindle bushings

[tomseal6]

Guys,

My 02 SRX with 7,100 miles

If the trailing arm spindle bushings are shot, would it cause the entire ski to tilt slighty inwards.

My entie left ski is leaning slightly to the right

My handle bar is straight.

sounds bent. pull the spindle out and set a square against it

This just happened when I put new carbides on it.

I took off some 10 inch duallys to install some regular 6 inch carbides along with bergsroms ski saver and shim kit.

7100 miles and there is not a dent or scratch on this sled. Let me know if you still think its bent

Ok I rule out the bushings.

That was the trailing arm I replaced 700 miles ago and it came with brand new bushings

I only replaced the arm because it had a 2 inch scratch in the paint

LOL S.X. was laughing his butt off at that at his place where we did it. He couldnt get over how I bought a new one over a small scratch

OK!!!!!

My other side is like that too. Is there some adjustment I can do with the radius rods and bring them out 1 full turn??

 

[Old Thumper]

Yes you can adjust the radius rods to correct the camber

SERIOUSLY??? THATS IT??

YOU GUYS ARE OK.

Thank you


It was like that all along. I just didnt notice it as much with the Dually carbides on.

Yup like Old Thumper said they can be adjusted, pull the bolt outa the RR
on the sled side(under the hood,the bulk head)drop it down break the jam
nut and turn the ball joint the way you need to..
