No issues with SPCs and wheeling for me. I bought mine several years ago, they are the older tube type, and have hammered them plenty. I grease them every 3-4 runs. Upgrading from bump stops helps reduce stress on the front suspension considerably, too.

Yes, they are now a cast design for the arms.

Alright boys the new arms are in and I'm happy to report that my shop was easily able to get the caster to 2.7° / 2.8°.

So far as far as I can tell the clunking noise is now gone, however I think the rumble is still there so I'm still leaning towards the rumble being the bearings potentially.

I'll post a picture of the alignment detail when I get home from work. (Forgot to snag a photo of it yesterday)

Position? Are you talking about the SPC arms? I was talking about the jBA Arms. Which speaking of, I forgot to post the alignment specs. I'll try to remember to do that tonight
