Those are the number plates for the body.

I'm using Lunsford Punisher links with the stock ball ends and plastics (actually new, but still stock style). And there's slop around the balls.

Will the HD balls solve this? What about the plastics? Is there a solution for the ends?

We have had good luck with the HA balls we are testing prior to there release. Stock plastics are working well with them.

Thinking of switching over to the eight 2.0 titanium turnbuckles. Do you know where I can get the HA balls?

It's quick, precise responses from you, Ryan and Casper, and others on this thread that make waiting on hold for help from Verizon/etc so very painful.

You all are making our normal lives miserable.

That's easy. Aren't your other two cars Associated?

The Johnny Wachter XXX-SCT setup works great at Bumps. You just need something to apply it to. . .

The HA balls have not been released yet (at least that I know of) Not sure what the ETA is for them. Sorry.

Just started putting my diffs back together and they feel kind of notchy when I turn them. They are new never been used. Will this go away after I break them in? Or did I over tighten the spur gear?
