3rd wheel orientation

[R00STER]

Im having a little issue with my track rubbing the tunnel on the left (brake) side. Nothing appeares to be bent or twisted. The track is evenly spaced at the front between the drivers. The track runs even between the slides. Everything looks fine except it rubs the tunnel right at the return wheel on the top. The only problem I can find is that the 3rd wheel is pushing against the track nubs, forcing the track towards the left side. If I adjust the track so it's not rubbing on the top, then the right side of the track is nice and loose, but the left side of the track is quite tight. I'm wondering if I might have the centre wheel in facing the wrong way, or if that even makes a difference? I'm just thinking that the wheel might be offset from the bearing. So if someone could tell me which way the bearing retainer clips are facing on the centre wheel on their xtx it will help me out alot. Thank you in advance.

It dont matter what side the 3rd wheel is on on the rear axle. Check all your bearings in the upper cross shaft and make sure your front drive shaft bearings are good as well.

I'm more referring to which way the 3rd wheel itself is facing, I don't know if the bearing is offset in the wheel itself.
The Bearings are all good.

The bearing is centered in the center rear wheel. Maybe you have a broken chords in that track.. how many miles on it.
