My front was sloppy too. I went ahead and shimmed the top of the steering block to get rid of the slop since I don't want to rebuild everything every 2-3 months. I'll try and prolong it if I can. Some things you might not, but if I can I will. What drives me nuts is the plastic shock caps and shock ends. They wear out fast! I'm on my 3rd set this year. I've noticed most people just drive with them sloppy. So I'm going to do that as well and see.

Racer Edge servo horns are metric too. I got one thinking I can just throw it on at the track. Wrong..Had to borrow a stock plastic one at the track. I was thinking of drilling it out as well. Looks like there's enough room to use a nut on the back side. Just haven't gotten around to it. Been spending too much time rebuilding my truck and T4.
