Why is this happening?

Post by 80spitfire »

Hey guys,

I was putting a pair of wearbars on my 77 LF today and while it was on the hoist I took a look at the track. I noticed that for some reason it's bending the edges of the cleats on the left side. Anybody know why it would be doing this and if so is it anything that I really need to worry about?

Thanks guys,
Brian

Here's some pictures by the way.

Brian,
You should look up inside the tunnel near the front to see if the track has been hitting a bolt

No I haven't had a chance yet. We lost all our snow so I kinda forgot about it lol maybe this weekend I'll throw it up on the hoist.
