Hi Arrma nation.
Just finished installing the Kraton EXB front and rear shock towers on the Fireteam. I always noticed that there was a fair bit of slop in the upper A arms prior to this change…..so when I’m putting the new towers in I consulted the exploded view and noticed that the “fat” plastic spacer (circled in green below) was placed in the wrong position from the factory. This “fat” spacer was installed in tandem with the other two “skinny” spacers aft of the A arm. So, three spacers stacked against each other.
So I put the fat spacer in the proper position, as depicted above…….and BAM…..no more slop. I know it makes no sense because the space and slop should theoretically be the same…..but it ain’t.
Check your rigs, make sure your schits in the right place..
cheers,
