tight steering issue

[chopan84]

after recently rebuilding the front end of my wraith i noticed that the steering was rather tight..tight enough that my servo wouldnt turn the wheels

i installed some dlux knuckle bushings during the rebuild and the knuckle to hub fitment is super tight.

Any ideas how to fix? should i change the bushings or file them?

im using VP knuckles and hubs if that matters

Loosen screws a little, put tons of locktight on them, and let sit for 24 hours. They can be a little loose and not backed off, its what i did. I have a 5955 up front but a crappy 170oz/in in the rear, so it made a really big difference!

Bushings upside down maybe?

I have 4 or 5 sets of the Dlux bushings.. the best I found was running something thru the knuckles eyelets where the bushings go an smoothing the powder coating up or even taking some down to the aluminum.. I found the red, at least the ones I have, to be the tightest an thickest color. I took them down to aluminium.. I also back the screw off an loctite the crap out of them..
