Sup y'all? I got froggy and drunk the other night and decided it was a good idea to bend all four stock lower links. I used a brake tubing bender (which worked awesome). Well now that I am sober, I am having problems trying to put them on. When they are all mounted they want to roll out to the side. I've tried many things but just can't get it to stop. Any opinions will help!
 
should have put up a picture
but... since the shocks are not exactly lined up with the links
they tend to flop the links to one side.
try sliding the bottom mount of the shock as far forward as you can on the links.
the other option is to mount the bottom of the shocks on the same screws as the bottom links
on the axle housing, but you might need a bit longer shocks. i used a set of shocks from a
1/8 rockslide (if i remember right they were 110mm).
i also switched all the screws to 3mm but that entails swapping out the balls on the rod ends,
readily available from redcat racing they are the steering link balls.
