You'll have to probly tweak the bar or cut it a tad shorter so that it won't interfere with the shock. Use a .200 ball stud and drill a hole in each arm and done. I highly suggest using the thinnest bar on the front of a buggy.

Wildcat, the funniest thing I read was "These low-friction ballcups will help free up the front and rear suspension to work more efficiently". They do realize the excessive slop comes from their existing ballcups which have a good amount of play when installed. I don't think I've ever read anyone saying they had binding issues due to the ballcups so I don't know why they would make such a statement. Also wish it had holes on the backside so it's easy to take things apart without having to snap cups off and on repeated to do so. All that does is weaken the cups with each snap.
The priority should be to make a more durable ballcup that is more precise fitting without binding and everyone who had the crappy ones that broke almost immediately should have a full set shipped for just the cost of shipping.

I used chapstick on the threads of the JC turnbuckles. I used the wedge up front, rib for the steering links and a wedge in the rear with the offset wedge on the outside hub carrier position. Have not had any issues since install.

I also had several dozen of the TLR Cups and Studs in my box of spares that I never got around to needing so it was a no brainer.
