Does anyone know what the thread size and pitch is on the steering and camber turnbuckle rods? I'm wanting to use a left hand and right hand thread tap on my rod ends, so the turnbuckles will turn easier.
Thanks in advance for your help! http://www.lunsfordracing.com/mm5/me...TRUC-TEKSCT410 I would only run the tap half way in though to leave it with some bite. Tapped half way will free it up more than enough to make adjustments easy yet you don't have to worry about losing the setting. Also smearing some ChapStick on the threads makes it easier to turn. |

Yeah, mine are fine just with some ChapStick on the threads. No need to tap, bang, drill or anything :D

I'm having trouble with the shocks not rebounding. If u drop the tuck it will compress but is slow to come back up. And when it does come back up, it doesn't come all the way up. I checked the hinge pins and everything on the a arms. It is free. I rebuilt the shocks and everything is straight and free until I tighten the bottom cap down. I put new o rings in the bottom but it still seems tight. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you have verified that the outer pin and outer camber link is not tight and binding.
I assembled my truck after hearing others saying that the pins are tight in the arms. Figured they'd wear in and be good. After multiple times driving it the arms didn't really free up. This is the only kit I've bought that I felt the need for an arm reamer. I bought a Hudy 4mm reamer and did them up before I drove last weekend and there was a huge difference. Felt like a well worn pin/arm without the slop. Push down before and the suspension was slow to come back up, now it rebounds back to ride height at twice the speed... a nice and slickery feel :D Sounds like you are ok with the pin/arm interface, but that's something to look at. When building the shocks, if you tighten up the lower cap all the way and back it off just a hair, does it releave the sticktion and free it up? If so, run it and if it doesn't puke oil, that may be your fix. Before you put oil in, slide the shaft up and down and get the lower cap as tight as possible without it squishing the moist orings so much it binds. Then fill with oil. |

biggest issue with bound shocks is not shaving down the tabs from the parts tree on the spacers.
