    Crazy question....CABs....

    I just had my new control arm bushings pressed into the lollipops and my question is this: How much off do the line/arrows have to be in order to cause a problem? One of them is spot on, the other is off juuuuust slightly, and I'm wondering how much a difference it will make? I don't want to install it if it's going to be a problem, but I don't want to take it back to the guy if it's not going to be an issue.

    Thanks

    Do you have centered ones or offset?

    i have the offset ones and one of mine isnt perfect. My castor numbers are .4 deg off. I can deal with that.

      You will be alright. If they were way off, then the cabs will rip and be wasted in a matter of a few good bumps.

            Yep.

              To clarify, they are the offset versions. It is a very minute amount, I would say even negligible. However, when dealing with geometry, a small amount here can equal a large amount elsewhere.

              I think it will be fine.

              Thanks for the replies anyway.
