Started building my SKIF 2S1 yesterday. After applaying the roadwheels I was a bit confused. The wheels on the left and right side are in different positions.
Maybe this is something everyone else knows, and I'm just a bit stupid... :-)
Have someone else seen this? Or is my SKIF set a failure?

I don't think it is wrong. I guess it is so because of the torsion bars. It is exactly the same on a M113.

OK!
Thanks Erik!
The problem is that there is not enough space between the road wheel and the drive sprocket. Had to cut off a part of the shock absorber to get them both in place.
Maybe the differences in the positions of the wheels makes sense for ordinary people - but not for a infantery man like me
