I filed and dremeled them and they still are not free. if I lift the arm with the tire and shock off, and release...it stays up. I will keep removing material until its free, but what happened? Did AE get a new molding company?
thats happend to me, i clean my hinge pin and sometimes took some scotch bright to it to freshen it up but i suggest lunsford ones, they wear a lot longer from what I experienced.
even check the hinge pin brace if its binding the arms....that also has happened to me even when i just bottomed out the 2 screws, if so add a small spacer.
