i have seen and read a lot about the overly quick steering and dartiness of the ds.timmyboy seems to have found the fix with there a-arms.since i am short on cash i modified my stock arms.i increased the positive caster 2 deg which is the same as timmyboy.i have not tried it out yet but will let anyone know if they are interested.

remove top a-arms and bushings.you need to machine .065" off the back edge of the pivots.i figured this to be 2-2.5 degrees additional positive caster.you will need to get .065" shims,i used some fender washers,just have to go through a lot of them to find 4 the same thickness.drill out the holes in the shims or washers just big enough for the inner bushing to fit through the shim.need to remove .065" from the 1 plastic bushing per pivot.assemble and grease.mine are a perfect fit and seem just as sturdy as stock.it will cost almost nothing if you have or have a friend with a mill.

i forgot to add that you will need to put the radius back in on the back side of the pivot after it is machined so the plastic bushing will fit properly.i just used a large reamer.
