Default Re: Shock link installation

Installing original shock links for me took some time and patience. I also lost a link, and realized there was a need to check things more closely. I soon found out the lower end of the link slipped easily on but the upper end was tricky. More than once I thought I had the link on both the lower and upper ball but a little testing after getting the plug screwed on the link came off. That’s when I decided to crawl up inside the fender so I could look down inside the link to check that the brass seat was for sure UNDER the upper ball and not pushed over to the SIDE. I agree with tightening the plug until it is even (square) with the top of the link. Following this process has (so far) kept the links from inadvertently falling off.
