Hi guys Need a bit of Help.

Ill take a photo when I get home but for now a description will have to do.

Now on my 22 both my camber links are the same length (Measured) however on some angle the right wheels seems to be on more of a lean.

Now I know the chassis is slighly twisted and I have a new one on the way, but was wondering what other parts should I order.

I have spare A Arms and will be putting them on as well.

Is there anything else I should need or you think the Chassis is it.

(FYI I did eyeball the other parts still on the car and there was no visible bend/cracks)

Did you check the ball cups and ball studs to make sure they aren't bent in any way. Also hing pins.

Is the white grease in the kit weird type of white grease? This stuff feels more like silicon caulk? Wondering if I got some bad grease.

So i just got a used 22 about a week ago. rebuilt shocks and diff(stock rebuild kit) and raced it Saturday. While inspecting the car on Sunday i noticed the diff is a little gritty. Is this normal? I built and broke it in like all the guides say. I am a seasoned 1/8 racer so by no means a beginner. I also noticed i installed the diff backwards. I cant see how this is a big issue. I had the screw on the passenger side of the buggy not the drivers side like the 22 guide says. any info would help. I have a b-fast ball diff kit but wanted to save it for the indoor season as i only plan to race the buggy at 1 more outdoor event this season.

Diff installed backwards will not hurt the diff. The gritty feel is fairly normal after a while. Can't say mine got that way that soon, but it will get that way. Did you use the diff break in guide on the tlr website?

Tony even using the stock parts the diff can be smooth and should def last more than 1 day. I'm thinking maybe the adjustment maybe loosened up..If u need any help give me a text/ring ..I'll pm u my number

If the diff is gritty that mean you either have a flat spot on some of the balls or you got some unwanted dirt between the plates and diff balls. I would take it apart and inspect it. You could have even be running it to tight. If you diff chirps thats a bad thing. I run the diff passenger screw side on all my 22's. If you had an early 22 you had to because running it normal would cause the diff to come loose during a run.

Don't run this diff too loose, The diff screw and nut i replaced with a B4 one because the stock one never tightened fully. Also I think if you run a diff backwards it loosens up. Another thing that points to gritty diff balls.
