Then on the left they are much further away from the adjuster flats.

Now that you say that and I look closer, I realize exactly what you are talking about because the two links are different. I can't believe that I didn't even notice that when I was adjusting them. I would have definitely noticed it had I been the one who assembled them but oh well. I guess the guy that assembled it had the links out of whack to begin with but I didn't pull them apart to check them because everything was straight when I got it. I am thinking that maybe the link to the rack wasn't adjusted properly and he had adjusted the links to the knuckles in order to correct it. I may just go ahead and replace them because they are soft and starting to round off anyways so I can make sure that I have some good Traxxas links that are the same length.
