2) Are your shocks the same length ?
3) Is the preload on your shocks the same left to right ? ie. is both front shock collars set the same , then is both rear set the same ?
4) Is your chassis flat against the table when you take your tires and shocks off ?

Hey guys, I broke a front steering knuckle on my photon and took it apart. somehow I lost a kingpin collar. I bought this car used so I have a bunch of spares. However, some parts look different then other and some kingpin collars do not fit on the front C hub.
Can someone give me an idea of what parts I should get to redo the front end, so its modern to todays parts? Thanks!

TC5 ones fit, but are a bit long, should be shaved a bit. The chubs and knuckles have not changed since the car was released, but its good to have some spares.

YES this even shows on rubber tire setups... but depends on how much tire wear you actually have. If the car is set up right and you have very little tire rubber showing in your body, then tire wear induced tweak should be minimal. Very little adjustment should be needed between rounds.

Okay.... I did some research and it looks like the car I bought had xray steering knuckles on it. as well as C hubs. . Anyways, it looks like they work, but I am in the process of putting everything back to original.

front binding
Is there any tricks to reduce the binding in the front end at near steering lock ?
And to qualify, can anything by done with TOP parts to improving the situation ? I have read the thread about converting over to use some XRay parts.
And secondly, does anyone feel this is even an issue worth messing with ?

I got rid of the chatter at near lock when I went to the TOP steel universals.
