Hope that helps.

He saying the arms are warped, adding some castor.

it is common problem for a 1/8th off road arms to be mingled after a season or two, but could be happend on any vehichle that runs on droop screws to put a hold on springs

I m going to check mine today, IMO arms should be perfectly flat on a setup board
