Alls I have done shimmed the slop out of the front parts. O-rings under the ball cups.

fellas... the o rings that are on the slider body (between the body screws and the body)... those fit perfectly into the kingpins and where ever else you need to shim... the biggest challenge is getting those tiny E clips off.... I found an Exacto knife works well...

I remember reading bout both these, but dont fully understand. What ball cups and what kingpins do you put the o-rings on? Do you put them on all the ballcups?

the "glue" method works the best. take the hinge pin out fill the holes in the arm with thick CA and push the pin back in, let it set but not cure 100% and pull the pin back out.the remainder of the glue on the pin will come off easy. once the glue is 100% dry put back together an no more slop.

remember to work fast.
