    so i have a chassis and rear and front suspension already jbeamed up and connected and working, however, im trying to make wheels and tires. i have the vanilla jbeams for these and now that they're in my folder, as wheel_f.jbeam, the wheels dont show up and the consol has an error saying the flexbody has a vy node error. i know what it means but i dont know how to fix this. i know what i need but i cant find it. can someone help me out? thanks

    Most likely something wrong with the wheel hub Jbeam rather than the wheels themselves, or maybe you forgot to add the spindles?

    Then probably something is wrong with the node groups on the front hubs.
