Bummer also good news.
I would check a few things over before running hard. I would double check if mudd has not already done it he may have.
Full range of motion front and rear to be sure no issues. Check your rear toe at ride height change to full compresion. At speed you want it to track during compression under load. Go with a slight toe out. Also check camber if you make a toe change. Any adjustments may have impact on axle clearences as long as it sets there no issues. Does the shock lower eye have hiems?



Thanks Adnoh; I think you may have saved me an axle. Back left was fine, but back right axle WAS binding the suspension at 80% compressed. When I lifted up with my hands it was even trying to shift the whole transmutation! Axle length... Axle needed more clearance; I had to unscrew the upper arm about 7 turns, and the two lower links about the same. Also the trailing link as well. All 5 needed significant adjustment to allow full travel with no axle bind. I had to redo the entire alignment to get it right Tape measure from all 4 corners, camber, and toe. On the arms and links it is looking kind of lop-sided being set so different from the left side by about 1/2 an inch difference; but seems like it should track similarly both sides.

Fox shocks in the rear are using Heims retained with snap rings. Seems to me plenty of movement available.

Your welcome
Since you readjusted the front did you use a toe In or out in front.
Something to consider would be toe in and if so pull the shock and see what happens when you go into bump past ride height to mid point of compression left with the wheel turned at lock full position and see what happens this help with decision on toe in or out or how much.
With a toe in front toe out in back and correct setting on front wheel lock bump you can dial it in for tracking in a turn under power. Than adjust the caster for over under steer. And dial in a camber setting.
I would recommend not using any more camber than needed to track though the cornor once it takes set. This way it won't be twitchy at speed or plow though a cornor
Thanks for sharing any set up on his suspension (Dave co)for those who run it.
Thanks for sharing
