Default XMODS Lancer Evolution

Hey guys,
i just got my first xmod... yay. been waiting for a while, since the gen 1's, but they didn't have any cars i wanted.. so now i have my evo...
anyways...

i took the reinforced knuckles that were included and replaced the first ones...
and i noticed that they have already cracked... did i screw the screws in too tight or something??

also, my front wheels never seem to be perfectly straight, one always points inward... is something wrong?

thanks..

no nothing is wrong, but u might need to get wheel shims to take up the space between the wheel and knuckle. atomicmods is a good place to get em

ohh alright. thanks.
anyways, i'm planning on getting some aluminum parts, so i don't have to worry about things breaking. probably just like.. the knuckles or something.

also, my car seems to be lower on the left side than the right...
and i didn't know these xmods were so low, it looks real nice..
but i'm scared that if i take it outside, it'll get thrashed on the bottom.

There's no need for a skid plate, all of the gearing is already protected. It'll just decrease your ground clearance.

Check to see if your shock is hung up, that could make the car sit uneven....that and if you have a fat driver or passenger...

Maybe you can work up a sort of combination battery box cover and skid plate all in one.
