Default Maybe ?

Rear links mount from upper deck to front side of rear uprights, should be about 5mm clearance between link & Shock.

Default Oh you mean THOSE spacers

Boy do I feel like a idiot Redbull had it on the money, I thought he was talking about the spacers for the shock screws. Then I find these nice block spacers that solver all my problems....Thanks for the help Redbull!!

Default What a coincidence

I too have an X-Ray

I found that my shaft holders were warped so that the crown gear does not spin as freely as it should. Its causing high spots as I rotate the gear. Hopefully the alloy holders will fix this problem. ]

Those alu shaft holders are not cheap. $40 for 1 or $80 for a pair. That is a little too expensive, don't you think?

$80 for the pair

I was hoping it was $40 for the pair
will be a looong time till I can afford them then, and I think I really need them still got some spur gear wobble, only slight though but enough to make me wary.

Yep, I thought it was $40 for a pair too. , which won't be so bad but $80!!!

Dave, will we be stripping bevel gears fast if we don't have this? Will it make the drivetrain quiter? What is actually the benefit of getting this part? Thanks for the input.
