i built up a sort of a world's using a combination of parts i already had, and parts i ordered. anyhow, in front, the endlinks on the shock rod, where they attach to the arms, seem to have too big a circumference, and rub on the arms as you can see in the following pic:
even though the shock rod ends rub on both sides, one arm articulates smoothly, and the other is a little rubby/bindy.
What's gone wrong?
unrelated: note how i didn't use a turnbuckle, but regular threaded rod, cut to right length, using the ball cup-to-ball cup lengths from the rere world's manual.

Re: Using rere worlds parts, shock bottom ends rub arms???
Answering my own question: wrong shock ends. I was tricked by Amain's listing. I had sorted for rere world's parts and it listed the stock gold pan shock ends in the world's section, so I ASSumed they were the right ends. Wrong. Just ordered the right shock ends today.

Yeah if you look closely at the two together you will see a small ridge around the new white shock rod ends. You can just trim them up a little with a dremel or sharp knife. They definitely affect the suspension travel on the wide front arms...
