Default Rear Truck Mounts on Evo Are Off

Hey the back mounting holes are my evo are off by like 2/16s of an inch, when I push it and i'm not standing on it it definitely veers to the right, When I took it out for a ride today I couldn't tell it was off, so it seems like it rides fine but I didnt hit any high speeds (25-30 tops) I wasnt sure if this will effect my ride when i start hitting 40s and up. I'll get pictures when i get a chance, should i contact landyachtz or mile high mark or just not worry about it? Normally I wouldn't think anything of it being a little bit off but if I'm going to be going that fast i want to make sure it'll be alright, Thanks.

There's as much chance it's coming from the trucks, try seeing if they tend to sit to one side.

yeah the moving to the side thing could be from the trucks, but i'm not really concerned about that because it doesnt happen when i ride. The screw holes are definitely off center on the rear of the deck on one side it's 3/4's of an inch to the edge from the screw and on the other side its like 5/8's of an inch (2/16's of a difference) I was just wondering if the truck mount being off center will cause problems when i hit higher speeds. Right now it hasnt caused me any problems but I haven't taken it fast yet.

don't worry, it wont effect your riding considering the trucks even out under your weight, you only have to worry if you weight below 10lbs or have insanely hard bushings

The nose of my Evo is actually bent. It turns better one way than the other but when i'm doing DH it doesn't effect me. It just turns less one way than the other.

Try front truck on rear and rear on front, assuming you're running the same ones/angles. Probably won't make a difference if the holes are really off.
