Hi folks,
I posted this question on the 200 forum but am not getting the answer I want which is basically to agree with me that a slightly bowed RLCA on my 200 isn't an immediate cause for concern. Of course, I do really want to know if I'm wrong about that. See my post in link below:
Also, I looked at the geometric measurements again redid the math with a 1/2" arc height rather than the initial 1/4" value I used and that makes the difference in effective RLCA length about 0.02" not the 0.005 reference in my post. I still think this is essentially nothing to worry about from a safety perspective or any mechanical wear related issue. That said, its always the thing you can't see or understand that bites you. That's why I ask lots of questions.

So I have a slight bow in my passenger RLCA. How much it too much "bow" to run with. I do not notice anything driving down the highway. I think the only thing potentially affected would be the alignment of the rear axle and I think misalignment there would only cause a "tracking issue" where...
