Do those housings have the outer chub/lockout wobble that I've read about on the Rock Jock housings? Or do they fit tight?

Oh, and whose your driver? I've seen him a lot but not sure who he is. Looks like Nathan Drake from Uncharted.

Nope!!! I can vouch for og housings with vp all the way it's a good fit. There is a bit of space between splines but when bolted together nice fit! & yes Sam fisher!!!

Do you have any issues with that panhard kit. I can't believe vanquish even sells the kit. I installed the panhard, links, and high clearance steering knuckles. The suspension compresses maybe 1/4" flat pushing on the hood. It will articulate but barely. All that money and it doesn't fit?! Very disappointed.

VP is one of the best.
Also need to decide what you want the rig to do?
I can say it does change suspension setup.
You must run front 3link with cms kit.
This rig goes everywhere my old setup did without cms???
All about setup.....:ror:
