notice the camber on em..

sheet metal screw on the tire was a prelude to a bigger problem found..

didnt expect the arm to ride up high enough to affect the ports...

so the set were installed with the charge port facin the wheel....

mistake..

time to see what kind of service hksusa provides..

might prove to be difficult consider these set were imported and installed myself...

time to purchase new setup for replacement considerin the two events im scheduled to attend is this month..

doubt ill get them serviced in time for em...

lookin to get one that has height adjustability without affecting stroke for the next set...

the adjustment is on the top jon....

thought there was enough clearance for this port..

and placed them facin the wheel for accessability....

nothin on the install paperwork that adviced otherwise...

gonna need new ports and it filled...
