i use a caliper to adjust the tensioners to make sure they are identical.

if it still rubs after that make sure you dont have something bent in your skid

you need to align your track. Tighten left hand tensioner so that the track moves right in the tunnel.

Hopefully nothing bent or broke......prolly like Maxwell says, adjustment on the tensioners, I always use a digital caliper as well, takes no time for the peace of mind

Does that work the same on an M10 with the floating rear axle?

On mine originally I had an issue that one of the drivers moved just enough so the track was over to one side more than the others. Moved it back and never had an issue.

driver must have been out quite a bit? theres a good amount of play in the track window

Had the same problem when I installed my holz skid, the track was rubbing on the tunnel with the alignment perfect, had to do a bit of driver moving and shimming to get the track off the tunnel.

could also have a bearing gone on one side

Think of the simple things first.....ice on the side of the tunnel.

Then look at alignment...
