Ok, I found a post on here and I think i better understand the issue. Under full compression the CVD shaft makes contact on outside lip of the cup and thus pushes it cup upwards and causing all kinds of bad stuff. I check my rears and the shafts were black as new with no rubbing, I out a 2mm shim in for insurance tho. I am running middle top and outside bottom. I assume inside bottom would be even more of an issue.
When I checked the fronts, I did see a slight wear on the cvd where the shaft would make contact. The cvd is not yet bent, but I did add 4mm under the rubber bumper. Then I checked the clearance and the cvd seems plenty far from the shaft, maybe too far, but again insurance. Again middle top and outside bottom. I assume again more of an issue if I move the bottom to the inside.
Hopefully I have gained a better idea of the issue and what I did was clear to anyone new like me. Also, I am using the rubber shock boots. I think the main thing is to limit until you no longer touch at full compression and maybe a 1 mm more.
