I just build my shocks of my T4 2014 and the balls in the shocks ends bind. This happens on all 4 shocks and the balls are positioned like the manual say. With the shinny side away from the flange.

The upper balls move free in the shockcaps with latteral play.

Hello,

Could be that you put them to far on THE Schockshaft for once.
THE Schockshaft is then pulling THE Schock Ends a little out wich Will cause THE binding.
If you have some new Schock-Ends try them and fit THE ball, then check with Every turn if THE ball still moves freely until you reach THE correct length.

Just give the plastic around the ball a pinch with some pliers little at a time till they free off it just stretches the moulding slightly if not overdone

I like to leave about 1mm of the shaft thread showing at the bottom before the rod end, that way I can guarantee being able to get the amount of droop I require no matter how much ride height I'm running.

Thanks guys. It was indeed the shockend that was too far screwed in.
Anyone knows the ideal length for the shafts?
