Default Wraith problem.

I have a wraith I put together my self as a kit. Everything works but I ran it the other day. It ran fine but it leaned to one side. I adjusted my shocks and that dident help I took them off and they seamed fine any ideas?

Torque twist. It will always be visible in a shafty, unless you do something stupid, like put diff grease in your shocks instead of oil...

You need to flip the ring gear in the rear axle. It won't remove all of the torque twist, but it takes a lot out.

I've done the preload, flip the gears and all that and the Wraith still leans. I just got used to it. However, I like soft springs so it's mushy

All that does is adjust ride height and limits up-travel. The spring rate remains the same. Stiffer springs and heavy shock oil will gain better results than adding a ton of pre-load.

I run a rear sway bar on mine, it takes most of the torque twist out, although it does limit the flex in crawling type situations.
