(All pivot balls are free with no binding. 7k shock oil on the king pin shaft.)
2. I used pliers to pinch the front arms pivot ball bushing to remove the binding. I think i overdid it. Now the pivot balls pop out very easily. Is there a better solution? I've read in the Roche 2016 thread that Xray bushings will fit. Is this a good solution?
3. Stripped the spur. Noticed it's not perfectly centered. Is there a better alternative?
Thanks very much in advance!

Granted this is for carpet... But...
I added weight under the bell crank, approx. 2 oz. of tungsten
I also set it up for 1.5mm of droop in the front.
With the 16 kit I had to go to shorter standoffs to gain ground clearance.
I haven't had problems with the pivots popping out, so I'm not sure about that...
I noticed the spur was running out also, I use a Kimbrough 92 when I run a ball diff. 99% of the time I use a gear diff with a 92
