Oh and I also used part x-3 under the front upper links and moved the link frame side to the upper /foward most hole on the side frame, much better, the link does not hit the stock motor, unless you yank down on the front axle ,under normal suspension sag, you get about 2mm clearence.

thanks JOAT, that was the page. this is the paragraph i was looking for.

the front upper links bind up if installed according to directions, they are fairly short and when in the V shape it puts some stress on the links. i used a longer screw where they mount to the chassis and used an extra spacer to remove the stress and they pivot much freer. Oddly enough, the rears worked fine where they were - i know Jason ran into some binding, but mine were perfect - it was the front that was giving me fits.

thanks again !
