Chieftain Road wheel to bogie trouble

Post by Daniel Brooker »

Hi chaps
Need a question answered help please !!!! Made up the Front suspension unit and 2 road wheels when attaching the wheel to the suspension unit the road wheel rim fouls the suspension body and rubs the outer casing seems it needs a washer in between the axle and suspension arm but instructions don’t say this ? what am I doing wrong

Regards
Dan
When axles are screwed into suspension arm the rim touches the outer suspension body
