I finally listened to Gabe today and took apart my a-arms. My front shocks seemed to have next to NO travel and I remembered what Gabe said on here about greasing the a-arms. The front bushings/inserts weren't even turning and my a-arms wouldn't move freely, even without the front shocks attached.

I took the inserts out, greased everything real good and tightened them down to 10 foot lbs. This seemed to be just right to take out the play and keep the free motion of the arms. Once I bolted the shocks back up it was amazing! I have full travel now and can't believe I raced on it like it was..........thanks, GABE!!! JIM

 

I did one side of mine tonight too, and like yours mine would barely move before I greased them. I'll finish the job tomorrow and test it out.
