    control arm mount parallelism

    I'm working with a beat up 86 250r frame, the a-arm hanger or mounts on the lower rear left and right side, are closer to the uppers than the front set by 3\8" and 1\4". How important is it for these upper and lower mount centerlines to be parallel? I just bought a set of extended a arms, and can cut and reweld the mounts in their proper location. I'm looking for input. I'm building a recreational sport quad with some aftermarket upgrades, adding gussets and powder coating.

    Yes.
    I've included a pic for reference, Attachment 4004
    compare the distance between the upper and lower rear mounts and the fronts.
    on my other frame, an 88, the centerline is parallel.
    It seems like a binding condition (in an exaggerated condition) I'm wondering how much it would actually bind.
    Like I was saying in my first post, there's about 3/8"(9.5mm) difference between the two.

    if it were mine,I would not run it like that. even if it doent bind,the caster and camber changes from them being not being parallel is what I would be more worried about
