It's an interesting idea. Weight is always an enemy. Visually, the lower A-Arm attachment looks heavy. I have considered coming up with a shortened damper tube mounted between the upper and lower ballstuds, but in the end, it would not be much different then lube on the kingpin.... just a lot less need to be serviced on a regular basis.

Since I am going through my "build everything" phase, I built up my first CRC front end last night. The reason you guys maybe going back and forth over damper fluid on the king pin being so radically different may actually be a tolerance issue. The CRC lower kingpin seams to have a bit more play then the Asc/IRS set up. That could easily explain the dampening difference.
