Are you using RPM arms all the way around, just front, just back?

I use RPM arms in the front, and I use the included spacer with the RPM arms as a wedge, I sort of start it sideways (like using a quarter to open a paint can) to sort of force the gap for the rod end apart. I can actually install the rod ends in faster in the from RPM's than stock.

On the rears, I use a wide blade screwdriver to open the shock mount area open just a hair. Once they are in there for a bit, it will be eaier to do next time around.

Well I cant wait any longer, after reading some of the reviews and seeing some of the abuse these DarkSoul shafts have been put though its time for me to order a set.. Looking good Ed

New update on the Darksoul shafts... they are holding up great.. the rod end bushings will wear out but not a big deal to replace.. the shock shaft and end hold up great and I have not bent one or broke one... I would break a stock shaft or end at all events at least one time a race day.. the red seals that come in the shaft kit are the best.. the oil stays alot cleaner for longer now..... Great product DARKSOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
