I built the front end last night and it’s perfectly fine it doesn’t bind up the more shims you add for reactive caster. It all feels very solid once all put together but will be interesting how much tweak in the event of a crash. The new method of dampening behind the upper pin is interesting. I had one issue with the thread missing out of the alloy part where the caster ball stud goes. I was able to cut my own thread with a screw and some black grease. All fine but if it was worse I would have asked for a replacement part.
