| Re: need some help with rear suspension: Dave, I had exactly that problem on one side of mine - one side of the yoke would just bind on the flange at full droop.
10 minutes with a die-grinder solved the problem - I just took about 1mm off the flange surface at the binding point, smoothed it all out & things are now ok.
BTW, another problem that I encountered with the old standard DRB sliding spline axles was that at full droop, the suspension was stopped by the extension limit of the splines, not the shocks (even with all spherical joints wound right in). The ends of the "male" parts of the splines were digging into the cork dust seal & chewing them out. The only solution I found was to get the last 3mm of the "male" splines machined off - it cost $150, but solved the problem.
Kind Regards,
Peter D.
