They should be the last things on the CVD after the bearings. By doing this, you push the CVD farther into the cup therefor eliminating the problem of the CVDs popping out. Another tip I got from a friend is to use an o ring along with a few shims in the front. I also put some fuel tubing on the shock shafts. I'm doing so much because I want to be sure that I won't have a cvd pop out while on the track. I haven't had any issues so far with the oring..just using shims, I had one pop out after a large jump into the face of another one. All I did was gas it a bit and it was all good. I did add one shim after this, just to be sure. The best thing you can do though is get CEN's new arms. They are probably the best solution. I still run the stock long arms.
