I have the same Rear Hubs and didn't have an issue with fitting the top stock arm into them. Maybe the pivot ball is a touch wider?

My bearings were also a tight fit but when it came to changing them they came out much easier then i expected. I just tapped alternately on either side of them with a small screw driver and they came out nps.

I have bent one of the rods that come with them but was probably just from bad crashes. Integy sold me a replacement set of rods separate from the hubs which was great.

Very much agree there should be a stock plastic part.

The horsie shock covers will get damaged by stone strike so the rear guards are a good idea to protect them from that.
