There is always solution to a problem, except I should certainly get what I paid for before using it.
Interesting. I've had 3 sets of DCJ's in my cars, never had this issue. Seems strange that two seperate people have had the same problem... maybe a bad batch

For the middle axle I will tray another sets of bearing but I donīt belive that this will resolve the problem

Anyone has the same problems? Ideas for solution?

My first impresions abour the few things that I have built is that the gear diff it's so good, and the new arms seem quite better

As Holmenkollen said, shims are your friend here. Seems to be the same on all Eryx's (reminds me I need to check my centre shaft!)

I really like the Eryx.
Yeah, don't be afraid of unwinding the shock bottom a bit if your struggling to get the droop.
