Also, the turnbuckle that bridges the gap between the top deck and rear end was too short actually causing the rear of the chassis to curve up.

Once I got those two problems sorted out the car is so much better to drive.
That chassis link is a pain. I snapped mine on then adjusted it until it rolled free side to side. It was way too tight using the kit suggested gap. Just like a link rear end on a pan car, if its not free its tweaking something. And this link really does affect chassis flex so it needs to be free and smooth.
