XB Rear Toe-In

This is more of an FYI. When I received my XB I noticed some pretty severe rear toe-in (severe in my eyes, I hate the looks of it :p ) . Some people like that, but I took off the wheel and realized my rear hubs were on backwards. No big deal really, just thought I would throw that out there if anyone notices the same thing.

I missed the key word "carrier". The hub carrier was on wrong.

What do you mean they where backwards cause I noticed mine are the same way did you just swap sides (right to left)(left to right) or something different did that fix your problem

Swapping sides fixed it. The instructions show exactly how they should be - page 7.

Thanks for the pics so just another quick question did you notice any difference when you changed yours or not really see I was told that the rear toe in should be there which I guess could make some sense I'm just wondering did you gain anything from the switch or can't u really tell any type of difference

Im pretty sure swapping around the rear hubs doesn't change the toe in. Well at least judging by the pic. Switching those hubs changes the caster angle. If you want to change the toe in change around the little black hinge pin "captures". Keep in mind im extremely sleepy, slightly intoxicated and pretty dumb, so I am probably wrong. ROFL :D

It changed it. The camber had to be adjusted slightly, but I still had toe in. Plus, the hub carriers were backwards based off the instructions.
