Shocks and CVD's/dogbones conflicting

[PWorcester]

Seems that maybe the dogbones and shocks might prove an issue by running into eachother with flex and movement causing one or the other to bend. Maybe M2C can create a set of slighly wider a arms to offset this. If anyone else has noticed this let me please know if you have figured a tweak. Ill get mine on the bench and start looking as well!

Hammer them straight again. I'm surprised you haven't eaten a diff cup yet.
I usually just put mine in a vise between a couple wooden blocks.

The shock isn't doing that. All of the original arms on my Kraton are gone & the last few I've installed are much more flexible than the originals that broke. But both of my rear driveshafts bowed a bit & I viced them back straight. You must have a similar batch of arms on your rig. Flexible arms on a rig this heavy is NOT good. I also get this problem on all my 6s rigs with RPM arms.

A thick steel drivehaft wont bend because of a shock spring or a 5mm shock shaft to touch each other it will need an increible arm flex
It will only bend in a har impact
