Default Hrs Sidewinder

I've never had a sidewinder and I wonder how much movement side to side should their be in the rear axel? I have some movement so I wondered. I looked on the site but didn't find anything.

As little as possible...
It is better to have some side to side movement than to have it set tight against the bushings...

Minimal, virtually none at all.

And if you want to do a really nifty job of optimizing the rear track, whilst reducing friction, consider the SIPA47 & SIPA52 spacers made for this purpose, finishing the job with a drop of lube at each end.

Greater than zero, less than .001 inches.
