The current axles are 44mm pin to pin. Does anybody make a 42mm axle ? Do you have this problem ? I run 3 deg. of camber which doesn't help the problem. I also run 3 deg. of toe, but that seems to be standard.
Thanks.
I had this problem when I ran very small amounts of rear toe in. I just shaved some material off the blade itself, then it didn't bottom out anymore. They're pretty thick and very strong, so it can take it.
