Also, a small cable tie around the double ball cups helps to keep them popping apart in a hit.



These are both being updated by Awesomatix in the future although for now these small modifications work just fine.
SO NO JOINT GREASE AS SUGGESTED IN THE MANUAL?
THE BEARING RING IS ONLY APPLICABLE FOR THE FRONT UNIVERSALS?
