Hi y,Is the equilateral triangle the largest you can fit under the component? (It should be.)
Is the lightest area of the component lifting off the Hip Joint?
As long as you've got good, solid contact (which should be the case with a three point support), different weights on the different Hip Joints shouldn't matter. Think of it this way: Even on the component's own feet, weight distribution is not symmetrical. It doesn't matter.
The only time I've found this to be an issue is with air bearings, not roller bearings. With an insufficiently large air bearing, a compontent will tilt downward toward its heavier side. Even this is taken care of by using a larger diameter (than the component) air bearing, re-centering the component's weight on top so it sits "level".
Hope this helps.
