MI2 Steering problems

[BRAKKIE]

Can anyone help me...

I've recently built an MI2 and everything was going well untill the left hand wheel started to lock up. If I run the car in the air and I turn the wheels, you can hear the wheels catching somewhere but cant seem to find the problem.

Any help would be appreciated....

I don't have an Mi2, but here are some things you can try:

Check:
-if the wheel is rubbing on a ball-cup or the lower shock mount.
-the CVD's and the bearings inside the front hubs.
-the front diff/one-way and its outdrives

thanks for your fast reply....

Someone said that I broke a pin on the inside of the wheel hub. Aparantly this is caused by overtightening the wheel....

what do you make of this?????

plastic wheel hub- get a metal one.
