Default TC4 Dogbones problem

I have an Associated TC4 that I am having problems with. I can't seem to keep the front dog bones on the drive cups. I have replaced the out drives and dog bones and they are still popping out.
Has anyone had this problem? If so, is there a fix? It's driving me crazy as each weekend I am breaking half way through the heats![:@]

Do you have dogbones or cvd's? if you have dogbones, you need to put a shock o-ring down in the drive cup, this will keep the dogbone pushed up into the diff cup. If you have cvd's, just add shims to the inside of the axle, pushing the cvd up into the diff cup.

Or if you have dog bones just upgrade to CVD's you'll be thankful you did.

I did upgrade to CVDs. I re-shimmed them and also installed steel out drives. Hopefully this will solve my headaches. I should find out next weekend.
