cheesecake i was stating that it was soo thick it never even bottomed on out track usally you get a nice chassis slap sound when landing that jump mine never made a sounds just a "wwwwwuuuu"...... so yea thats why it knew it was too thick. and yea like cheesecake said the rougher the lighter the oil, our track was fairly smooth compared to normal so i left mine alone (and i didnt have a full bottle of 40 to change to, it almost takes a whole bottle to fill those huge big bores)

and for the rod end question, i think your refering to the clamp that hold the ball into the arm? then yes just snug it up they still pivot freely, you dont want slack. but dont over tighten them.
