Caseymacgyver, thanks for all the info.! I'm still a bit unclear, however, regarding the upper arm pivots. It looks like they're on bearings and allowed to rotate, which necessitated the upper shock? Am I understanding that correctly? And you did this to address the jacking effect?

And you and pickled were right about the extra hub bearing! None of the components I bought came with one, but fortunately, it's the same size bearing that's used in Axial rock crawlers (my main RC interest) so I put some in yesterday and the slop is MUCH better now. So thanks!

My upper "Y" link that attaches to the shock tower is clearance drilled on one end. The shock tower is also clearanced. And then the screws threads into the other end of the "Y". If I keep it loose enough to get free movement, it introduces too much play. If I snug it up to eliminate the play, it's too tight and doesn't move freely. I think I'll look into what Exita did.

Exita, how did you attach the triangulated link to the camber link?
