here is the hole im talking about i had to drill, the one on the far right is the one its supposed to be on but the nerf is screwed up so i have to use the one on the left, which is why its sucked in farther than the other one in the front.

this is the nerf that slides over the bar thats bolted to where the factory pegs are

and here is a pic with the nerf unbolted in the position it should be in if i didnt have to rig it, they are the same on both sides now and the arms look perfect................note: my tierods are still off a little bit and my left fender is a little higher than the right, prolly more flexed on one side due to being 13 year old fenders

im confused lol.

 

Are you asking how my nerf is bolted farther back when its bolted to my peg? I have the old school ac nerfs with the pegs built in, you take off your pegs and a tube bolts on there and the nerf slids over the tube. I just pushed the nerf in more which took up all the slop and flexed the aluminum a little bit so i could mount it in a different spot

 

OK, I got it , don't think I have seen those.

one way you can check the frame is measure from the grab bar to handle bars both sides make sure the bars are straight. then meassure the wheel base on each side, Center of spindle to center of rear axle. That is how I found my bend I tried of across the frame measurements and was only getting like a 1/16th of here or there. My wheel base from left to right was off 2" you could see it looking at the suspension, but looking at the frame everything looked and measured real good. I was trying to redo my allignment and couldn`t figure out why it was not getting duplicate #s on the caster and camber settings. The slight bend in frame was basically multiplied by the arms. kinda hard to explain it right but even a small bend can be big by the time you add the other components to it.until I got the motor and everything out then I could see the lower a arm cradle area was pushed to the left. You look at the steel nothing is crushed or looks stretched. bought a new frame all my measurements are on now.
