[QUOTE="JimLor, post: 361179, member: 442"] I did have a small gap. I beat the living crap outta that thing so I'm reasonably sure it went down as far as it was going to. I'm at work and the pictures don't show up - not sure if there's one in the first post here or if I commented in yet another post near the same time. I'm not quite sure what is "sliding up and down." Once put together and torqued, I don't think anything is moving or sliding. I too have wondered about repeated bouncing, etc causing the race to seat further down and make the whole shebang loose, but no symptoms of that yet. While I haven't done it yet, I'm going to buy the spanner tool one of these days and do routine checks. Routine being if I feel something unsettling or maybe every 5 - 10k if I don't. I used all sorts of logic to explain the space. the one I liked the best is that the old race is actually larger - sits higher - so for the All Balls to sit in the same space relative to whatever, there needs to be a space. I still like that explanation! I'll look at the pictures at home tonight to see if anything else comes to mind. [/QUOTE]
