i doubt the diff balls need replacement at every rebuild.

first real race day with the car today. second day racing pancar and second on carpet.
new crc tires started with kit settings but blue center spring silver sides. changed to blue sides and left it for the rest of the night. not sure what else to change, probably have to just drive it for aw hile and get a feel for pancars.

one question though, how do you set droop? do you have to change the spacers in the center shock?
By turning the shock end that attaches to the pod, also make sure the shock piston is always fully seated in the shock end for consistency

If it isn't smooth again I replace balls or rings or both
If it feels gritty, check the thrust bearing also.
Hey Valk
How is the car working for you now ?
