Weird slide wear

[Joe ltx-le]

1200 miles on from new. I checked my slides last night. Right side is like brand new. Left side is all good except for right where the bend starts in the front. The slide is wore almost all the way. It looks like it melted.

Anyone know what could cause one side to wear so bad?

Check your track alignment

I did. It's fairly straight really. I've never been one for being crazy exact with it. But this is my first viper

Your right side is usually in better snow on the trail. Bank dipping is usually on the right...

Ya. I hear ya. Haven't ran much road though.

Track clip is bent. Check to see if the rubber is on the wheel.

Hmmm never thought of that. All my wheels look good. I'll take a look at the clips

Even with decent snow, the left side will wear more in my experiences..

Put a straight edge across the top of the rails to see if they are even.

What about the the left limiter strap not in the same hole as the right limiter strap???

With new slides installed and wheels removed lay the skid on a flat and true floor and see if it sits flat or if it rocks corner to corner.

Ok. Will do. Just got back from 100 mile run. I'll check tommorow. Thanks everyone for the help
