Road wheels spacing

Post by Scott Kilford »

Hi trying to find out some information if this is normal or an issue.
It’s to do with the rear track ideal wheel,with both track tensioners set at the same angle ,the right ideal wheel sits on the outside of the rear wheel set,and the left one sits well inside the rear wheel set,I’ve checked everything out and it seems correct.

Hi Scott,
It's not unusual for tanks to have slightly offset suspension, especially torsion bar where there is a lot to squeeze in between opposing sides. In any case, with swing arm suspension travel the latteral position of the wheels is moving all the time. In your top picture the road wheel will move away from the idler under load and in the lower picture it will move toward the ider under load , so it all looks correct to me and I'd be much more concerned if the gaps were the other way around.
