When pulling the rear end apart it seems like the rear left arm was binding and the suspension arm wouldnt fall naturally. Possibly part of my problem.

General consensus is the SOFTER tyres go on the rear. So what you're experiencing could well be the rear letting go.
Its what was suggested by one of the faster guys and I guess he was leading me down the wrong path...
