My car is new and I built it with the AE hex conversion knuckles & axles, with JCon hex adapters, and I have one side that when you tighten the wheel there is a decent amount of bind on one side. The other I can tighten very tight and it rolls fine, the other, it drags.
Ive heard of others with the problem, they just run the wheel on one side not as tight. I would rather just fix / solve the problem but really can't find anything that jumps out as the issue.
Wondered if others might be seeing the same thing or have a fix?
You guys need to read the posts before scrambling to a awesner, New car means new bearings. He also stated he is not using E-clips and has tried a assortment of shims to try and make it work.
I to have had this same issue. My e-clip slot is not even exposed on mine to get the clip on. So I assembled the pins and hexs without the clips, one wheel I can crank down and the other I hardly snug and it binds.
Like FLHX1550 stated its like somethings is off, either machinig or molding.
