REAR SUSPENSION/TRACK/TRACTION
Traction
Too few studs will allow the track to spin, resulting in excessive wear or damage to the studs. A loose condition
can result from too many dull studs. Front end pushing can result from too many sharp studs. After studs are
installed, it's important to install carbide skags to ensure maximum steering control. See the diagrams below.
