2.6 track wear (not clips)

[gmustangt]

Outside edges of the track are getting chewed up, pulling threads .
Looks like it’s rubbing the suspension drop brackets.
Track has 300 miles .. looks like it has 3000
Common?
Any fixes?

Aftermarket bumper? Seen where they put bolts with nuts on inside instead of putting bolts from tunnel out

Oem bumper Don’t think it’s that , thats far away from the track.

There are wear marks on the drop brackets... just wondering if anything can be done ?
Never had a track do this

mine looks that way. have not stressed it I am pos. that I will tear enough lugs off and replace it long before it becomes a big deal. don't know how many miles on the sled but when I was riding today I saw that I hade 60 hours on the sled. my track is chipped and threads coming out continually around the edge I just burn/cut the threads back....careful though their was a post a couple years back someone burnt theirs to the ground from not fully putting out the fire. I usually just mist each burn with water after singing!

Normal wear / loading of track on different angles. You can snip the threads with scissors and burn / melt the nubs.

However, always a good idea to check track alignment.

Center driver favoring mag side ... but it wearing equally worn on both sides?

^^^^ Nothing to worry about.
Just normal for a track to shed like that.
You can take a 2x4 and beat that center driver over slightly to center it.

Agreed.
Your pictures do not show anything more than normal edge threads unraveling.

As mentioned above.
Burn the threads back and rub the edge with a leather glove. (To smooth the melted rubber)

Everything will look pretty again.

(Track edges, windows and center punches)

Very common, especially when sidehilling/ side loading...the track shifts over and rubs on the drop brackets. As others have stated, nothing to worry about.
