I'm changing the oil in my shocks and am letting them drain out upside down.
What do you people use to clean the old oil out of the shocks? I was told to use brake clean but it seems a bit harsh for the seals. I'd like to get the old dirty oil out before refilling with fresh but don't want to pull the shafts right out to wipe the oil out from under the the piston

Il take a look at that whats the part number of the newer ones ? I have the team Factory B5M updated .
The plastic rod ends on the steering are the only ones giving me sticking issue even if i squeeze them il try to polish the metal ball end.

For me it's a new CE kit but I don't feel these ball cups are any where close to right. After reworking them with all the tips and fixes I got them to work better but not like I would expect from a racing kit. Hope they loosen after some runs but only time will tell.
On a good note I'm basically done with the build tell I get some tires and wheels as well as figure out what system I want..

I'm running the stock setup on the Factory team 3 degrees anti squat/1 degree inboard toe. Defietly think i can do 2 degree anti squat on Med traction .
I thought about taking them O-rings rings off the steering rod ends seem like it would free them up its the rack side yes.
Update just took off the O-ring on the steering rack totally free the ball rods up just a tad more play but not a lot.

Its very track dependant, one track that is 3 hours away from me uses them to great effect in winter.

Guys got my B5M CE pretty decent on the carpet track. What benefit would adding weight to the front bulkhead 15g or 45g?

from the research the ball ends were improved on the lite and CE kit, my sons b5m lite were lose as well, i had a factory team b5m and they were tight i recently bought new ball cups and all is smooth now. ie the HD ones part #91453

HD #91453 i replaced mine on my Factory team and they are smooth now

I got my CE kit yesterday and have it about half way assembled. My steering assembly feels somewhat "notchy" when moving it by hand. It kind of catches a little bit in a couple places when cycling it back and forth. I even added a drop of Tri-Flow to each pivot point. Even if I back off the screws until there's some slop it still isn't very smooth. Is this normal, or do I need to look into it some more?
I just had them too tight still. I loosened everything up and re-set the screws and everything is smooth now.
