Trouble with setting shock rebound for alu shocks

Trillion · **Posted:** Tue Dec 15, 2009 03:59:35

Hi,

I've just bought 2 sets of the alu shocks for the 08/09 and assembled them as per the manual.. but i'm having horrible trouble setting the rebound for them. It seems that no matter how many times I repeat the process in the book, the rebound will always be near enough 100%, when I want nearer to 0% rebound.

I've tried loads of different ways on the forums, but I'm having MORE trouble with setting the rebound for these shocks than I am for the plastic ones.

Could someone please give me a simple way of setting the rebound without the trouble and time I've already put into this (not to mention how much oil I've wasted).

Thanks

You can drill a 1mm hole through the cap under the pivot ball (will exit near or in the middle of the cap) to achieve near 0 rebound which i think makes the car easier to set up and easier to drive.[/img]

Is it a forgotten video making project? :roll:

Many xray guy locally still waiting for the video, before they decided to upgrade their shock. I got mine, but now is in the box nicely display iin the living room. Use back the stock shock that come with the kit. :roll:

Jilles Groskamp video does give an idea of how to build a shock, setup the car, servce the ball diff etc for a new comer. Happy waiting guys.
