    Default slanted rear wing

    My Fm went off.
    We replaced the rear wing brackets ( which were bent) and then replaced the entire wing
    ( which had a slight tear in the skin).

    The wing still has a slant to it ,almost 3/4 " overall.


    Looking for suggestions.

    How much will this affect the handling?

    Default Been there

    Went thru the same thing on one of our cars. Take the upright supports and lay them on top of each other to be sure the bolt holes and brackets are identical. We have to pair up brackets to get the wing to sit level.

    Loosened all the bolts and the wing was able to go straight .
    Took a closer look, and ordered 3 new comp wing spacers.... they were distorted at the ends. (not flat)


    Hoping that solves the problem.
