They bind up as you compress the shocks. Curious if folks are using a different inner front rod end to allow free movement? UPDATE: - See MIP 13250 steering kit. MIP seems to have addressed the binding issue with dubro ends and beveled shims.
2. Steering endpont to the right cannot fully reach. This is due to the servo link hitting up against the drag/ackerman link. If anyone is aware of a remedy, let me know.
Thx!
1. The balls have a flange to them. On the inner tie rods (that connect to the bellcrank) the flange faces up. On the outside (that connects to the spindle) the flange faces down.
2. You may need to add a washer or two to the steering link where it connects to the bellcrank to raise it up just a bit to clear the ackerman link. I had to do this when I installed the ball bearing bellcrank by vision racing.
