It's my first associated kit and this isn't something i would have expected from this brand.
I've already contacted the shop where i bought the kit, but i guess i have to contact associated.
Also the king pins are not moving as smooth as any of my other tamiya F104 or RM-01 cars, and i already had some thin oil on the king pins.
If the pins are aren't smooth, it is likely caused by tight pivot balls in the upper and lower arms
You need to be careful when installing the Delrin pivot balls, once installed correctly, they will last a long time
Popping them in and out a few times will loosen them up, if you have a tight one
You can polish the pins for even smoother movement, but this should not be necessary to keep from binding
Odd shim issue
Would recommend picking up a few extra sets for spares, and also to see if by chance you have a few bad shims ?
