Another thing that's come up...I started getting about a .5mm difference in height side-to-side. Measured springs, etc, re-set spacers, etc. Finally figured out that my pivot balls (always Niftech polished bronze) are floating up and down in the lower arm. No doubt an impact (impacts) have enlarged the socket.
I'm really wanting to try the new IRS lower arms. Also really wanting to try a Laje SpeedEvil front end but they're out of a couple key parts. He'd also not thought of drilling the new IRS arms for his front end when I asked if this was available (and he's a IRS dealer/importer).
Looks like the DB12R will have great success Jason. I was interested to see someone describe it as, basically, the missing link between T-bar and link cars. That was what it looked like to me too. I may have to try one...

I ran into the same problem last fall setting up three new cars all with IRS lowered Associated arms. They were all off by about .015. No obvious burrs, etc. I was very surprised by this as I'd been fat dumb and happy (like always) figuring they'd be square since they're milled...I'm sure in a fixture of some sort.

Here is your answer. .020 is .5mm .013 is real close to that. You need to check and make sure that there is no burrs on the arms. Maybe even sand them lightly on a flat surface to remove the high spots.
Can't wait to get it out on the track!

Im glad it fixed the issue you were having. There is a possibility for variation in molded parts.the IRS arms have all been real accurate but im sure that there can always be that odd one here and there. Let me know if you have any other questions or need help with anything else.

Wow thanks everyone, It looks like everyone is in agreement here. So I took a little material off the right front lower arm to get them the same and then I re-attached the U-Plates making sure that the car was on a flat surface with just enough sticking off to get the screw in. It got the car level and took out the twist and the bad tweek that it had before.
