ski tilted inwards.

What can cause this;
as you see the left ski is tilting inwards, gonna have the front end powdercoated so tearing it down, just that i rembered that it was like that when i changed a-arms and skis to mountain, the a-arms are the same size and straight.. just don get it, looks like the spindle is tilting.

My bet is that your spindle is bent. You will be able to see when you tear it down.

dont looks like it in the picture, if my memory serves me correct it tilted that way after putting the shims on the inner to get more narrow ski stance, weird just that it didnt do that to both. it sat flat before putting on the mountain skis.. gonna check tomorrow, dont wanna powdercoat tweaked parts

Have you tried swapping the skis from side to side. You could have a bad ski or spindle mount or miss drilled holes for the ski mount.
Its hard to say if its the spindle as your pic favors the left side of the sled.

Well checked all, One Bolt off by little the lower a-arm and the spindle itself is straight as a arrow and the housing, how many times I check the angles etc its like maybe at best one mm off, is there any sure way to check, and all parts was in its right place it seem

I read in another post of yours that your sled is actually an Apex GT that you narrowed up with MTX arms purchased from Ebay. Are you sure that you checked and correctly changed over all the necessary parts to narrow your front end (shocks, arms, etc)? Honestly, it looks like your left, lower A arm is too long. There is no reason your spindle should be cambered like that unless something is bent or mis-matched.

You might post this question in the MTX forum and see if someone over there might be able to help.

I havet messured the a-arms as well cheked for tweaked and non there. Gonna machine clean in about an out and check all awry closely

Were the GT A-arms the same color? The only thing I can think of is that the lower A-arm on that side is still the GT. That would make it too long and cause this.

Check the lengths of your remaining components. The shock mounts don't allow you to swap them top to bottom, so that's not the answer.

Good luck!

Well all blasted now and no bent or off, the arms are the mtx, they all had red under and the gts black or grey. Well se when all is painted and installed, never felt that it's off

Its an illusion brought on by the way the sled is sitting on the snow plus angle of the pic, the right side is collapsed more then the left. To my eye I would say that both sides lean in a tad at the top! Note that the left side a arms are dropped down and the right side are raised up in comparison! I would bet that when you put it on a level surface they are both the same.
