I'd like some views of that, Brian...I finished the build last night and I have to report not being too satisfied with the end result.
Not only do I have one knuckle with a bit more play than the other on its "kingpin" but the actual arms have way more back and forth play than my previous MR02 A-arms I purchased from other people(already assembled).
I've viewed some of the shim locations on those A-arms from other purchases so I think I can improve it but in my opinion if I was to use shims to de-slop-ify (good word huh?) they should have been provided.
It has smoothish travel but has a sticky/squeaky arm at the top of the travel...my guess is at the tie-rod/knuckle interface I'm getting a bit of rub. Polishing or just grease to remedy?
Not complaining as susch...just trying to post to get answers for future members who need help getting solid smooth action from their A-arm getup.
Ive also polished all the pins in the front. Mine seem very smooth in operating.
The spring cup, does it get mounted up or down. The instructions show down but at the track Friday someone said it's supposed to be up. Up has less binding and seems more "right".
I think my inconsistent handling is coming from binding with the spring cup in the down position. I was about to throw out the front end and try something else...hopefully this will take care of the issue.
Can someone confirm/deny these observations?
