it sounds like you have your set up too high, and the shafts are rubbing. This is nothing specific to this car alone as many buggies will suffer the same issue if set up too high. Move your lower shock mount positions further out and move the upper positions further in.
You want your arms to sit just a tad past level and then adjust your shocks by increasing the viscosity of oil so that it’s just plush enough but doesn’t bottom out easily. Maybe swap springs for slightly stiffer ones.
One last thing to check is the orientation of the arms… Make sure the drive shaft dip faces up.
