I couldn't get the front susp to be 'loose' without some filing. ('loose' as in when i hold up the hub, it will drop by itself without needing the slightest push).
Tip:
- 808340 Ball-cup for pivot ball 8.5mm
808344 Adjusting nut M10, using CA glue this part together.
You will get tight joint and still manage free suspension.

Instead abobe parts :

IN FRONT
- Should be no problem since both arm(lowr and upper) is hold by 1 piece part. If still, loosen every screw by half turn. Tighten the all the screw that will make "bulkhead assy" in 1 piece. Then tighten the lower 2 screw that holds "bulkhead" on chasis.
- Remove caster clip and check arm moving.

IN REAR
- I was tempting to use my "luxurius file", the problem in the insert. Clean all the flash in the insert even a little flash, especially in the back end (where you going to put inside back plate or front mount) Coz if still in there, it wll reducing the arm "play".
- Loose and tighten the screw like in the front. But this time dont
tighten lower(on chassis) then. Install and tighten the top carbon (brake and stab. holder) mount. This carbon is playing a major role of the rear assembly. After that tighten the screw on chasis.
If the problem is still persist just send it to "D" Master Builder.

Hope this help.
