How tight were the bushes in the beam? Did you have to bash them in? If you had to bash them in the inside diameter of the bush may have been reduced a little making the arms tight in the bush..... And i`m assuming the arms didn`t slide in easily either......

The only time ours went htat tight was when we (and by we I mean I!) bent the beam.
I know of one guy who reamed out the inside diameter of the bush by grinding cutting edges onto the leading edge of an old arm then would wind it in - but you'd want to be very carefull doing this or youll end out with slop on the arm and that would only get progressivly worse till you broke something...
I'd wait for other suggestiions and do this as a last resort!

If you can push down on the car then they are loose enough and will bed in. A beam car has a lot of built in resistance to movement so what seems stiff in the shed is normally okay on the track.
haha - a bit vague! I'll bet it was! Lots of steering brake use?
We saw phil page at dondingalong finish a race with no front wheels at all. He did half a lap, turned it into the pits, drove it the full length of the pit area and turned it right into his pit bay.... all with a standing ovation obviously.
I reckon this would have to be the vaguest steering possible?

true , though i did 35km's with one front wheel missing at hyden , found it to be not to bad at high speed , but at bit hairy turning left , steering brake was working over time , old rusty bell said he couldn't belive what he sore,
