I think the fact that you R&R'd parts caused this issue.Â* It is not

Just another thought on this. He had his TS blade aligned to the fence
with a worn out bearing. A new bearing will place the blade in a new
position.

Now Derby did have a reasonable explanation but gosh, why realign the
front end on a car after replacing ball joints or tie rod ends?


Well, the tie rod ends are threaded in and adjustable - but I have on
MANY occaisions replaced 4 tie rod ends on a vehicle and ended up with
the toe-in(the only thing affected by the tie rods) accurate to within
1/16 of an inch - less than half the allowable tollerance.Even with
third party (non-oem) parts.

I've replaced ball joints and had them well within spec too.
Depends if the alignmenthad been screwed with trying to correct for
worn parts or not. If the front end was aligned with good parts, then
the parts ware, and the worn parts were replaced without re-aligning
first, there is no reason it can't go back together and be within
spec.

If Derby made the zero clearance inserts after the e-clip was knocked
out, it can't fit after replacement with the clip in place - that's
obvious. However, if he got a zero clearance insert from another saw
of the same model, without a shifted arbor, the insert would in all
likelihood be so close to a perfect fit you couldn't see the
difference.



Well Yeah, many places would realign with out replacing worn parts.
