What's rubbing my rear arm?

[Turts]

Guys, check it out. why is my left spring rubbing on the rear arm?

Seems to me the spring is riding to far to the inside...

Looks like the kink in the straight part(or not so straight) might have something to do with that...

I wish I had a rear arm, it would make scratching my back allot easier.

I've been searching for the bushings.
I thought Toms made em?
Nope.
Tried a flat lander place from New York, hygear or something like that but have not heard back yet.
Adding a spacer looks like sound engineering to me!

I used some plastic pipe on my xp, worked good and still is, hardy worn at all

Keeps the spring straight and don't wear on the shaft

I desperately need to try this.... I put fat man springs in my sled and it still sags way to much ... there's something wrong in my skid because there was a t3 the same weight as me and his rear skid wasn't sagged out like my. upon looking to me looks like the springs don't sit rit and I loose my spring rate
