TC5R is tracking to the left side
I was lookin at my TC5r in my garage kinda puttin it back and forth and noticed its tracking a lil to the left( the left rear is kinda out futher than the front ad the right rear is in further than the front and it turns to the right a lil bit)... what could cause this??? toe is straight up in the front and the rear is 3degrees...

What are you using to check front toe? If your car can turn more to the left than to the right, and toe is the same on the sides, and your radio has ATV/EPA set even on both left and right. your servo linkage is off, and needs to be adjusted along with front toe to bring it back.
The rear will look wider than the front due to the angle of the tires if you're just eye balling it.

ok... i have the integy setup set... the toe in the front is 0 and the rear is 3... i just recheck everything... the front camber is 1.5 and the rear is 2... the car drives straight now BUT the rear end drives like 1/4 of an inch out on the left side... so basically is drives straight but looks like this / ... yes the forward slash... got any ideas?

try 1.0 toe out, in the front and 2.0 toe in, at the rear.

Barring everything else is correct on your car, your problem could be a side-to-side weight issue. Did you balance your car side-to-side? Even if using NIMH 6cell packs, you probably need to add weight to the right side.

You might want to chk your bulk heads . they might be bent just enought to make the car track funny .. You can always adjust your toe / suspension any way you want and it will look ok . butt you have noticed your problem after your adjustments .. also chk the spacers on the hindge carriers .. they are very close in width and you might have one in there that doesn't match .... hope this helps ...

Ok i did have 4 holders installed wrong but that did fix the driving side ways... heres pics of my car with the settup set on it... i drove it along the seam on my garage floor and the left rear hangs over about half the tires width....

Personally I think it is the first three digits on your transponder!!!
Just kidding, have you by chance checked wheel bearings yet???
