   I think he means side to side one wheel a little further from the side wall than the other. Our r-pod 171 was a little off center by I think about a half inch. If I am correct in what he means I think it could rub the outer edge of the fender or maybe tow a little on a angle and the tires would wear on the outer edges. A inch sounds like a lot to me.]]> Mon, 08 Apr 2019 13:48:23 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12739&PID=122705#122705 axle problem : Does it pull OK?

Does it pull OK? Are the tires wearing even? That's what matters. But it would help to hear just exactly what you mean by "off center"..]]> Mon, 08 Apr 2019 08:47:39 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12739&PID=122682#122682 axle problem : Ahhhh.....I would be interested... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12739&PID=122673#122673 Author: DavMar

Ahhhh.....I would be interested in knowing how you did determin your Pod was an inch off center? Sorry but sounds kind of odd to me but I'm not saying it isn't but how did you determine it is?]]> Sun, 07 Apr 2019 19:48:29 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12739&PID=122673#122673 axle problem : ^ what he said............. http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12739&PID=122670#122670 Author: Motor7

Please provide more information. Are you talking centered left-to-right, or front-to-back, or are you saying it is not square?]]> Sat, 06 Apr 2019 19:56:16 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12739&PID=122601#122601 axle problem : Originally posted by Preston2018... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12739&PID=122583#122583 Author: offgrid

Do you mean that the axle is an inch off center side to side relative to the rPod frame, or that it is misaligned fore and aft by an inch?

Hmmm?   I never considered looking.  Since the weight and balance really depends on what you load and where, an inch fore or aft, probably doesn't make much difference.  If one side is not an equal distance fore or aft compared to the other so that it's sitting in a slight diagonal orientation, that could be a big problem and would need dealer attention to get the axle properly aligned but it would likely show in tire wear very quickly with an inch difference.]]> Sat, 06 Apr 2019 14:52:58 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12739&PID=122582#122582 axle problem : 2018 r176.
