|  Front wheel play, is this common?
Has anyone else had problems with play in the the front wheels? I can wiggle the front wheels pretty bad! I think it might be coming from the those little gold bushings in the steering hub arms, or mabey from the bearings in the c-hub. Is there a easy fix for this that could save me some messing around time?

The stock bearings do cause some play. Also the brass sleeves do where out over time. |

I switched out the brass bushings for a set of Axial steel bushings ( from the scorpion kit) . You have to file them down a bit since they are taller but they eliminate the slop and wont wear nearly as badly.

Also HPI makes the same thing as the Axials...I believe they are cheaper by a few pennies. I might go that route...not looking forward to cutting them down though. |

cutting them down shouldn't be too big a deal. but out the dremel and take out a little bit at a time til they're right.

Take the bushings out and throw them away, than insert the knuckle screws left over from your TLT kit and enjoy slop free knuckles. |

Replace the bearings too. I notice play in mine again (already running Axial bushings) and found the stock bearings were blown. Just a good preventitve measure. |

1st signs of getting old you guys, you still have TLT parts laying around. I got about 7 or 8 of those boxes stacked up on a shelf.
