Re: Shock tester
I found that a unworn shock will near lock up in the rebound direction, but still moves in the compression direction with a closed needle valve with light oil, using the weight and timing different settings you can mark a couple settings and match operating times so they all match, some may take a 1/8 turn, other 1/4 turn to have same action
I found that lubricating the spring enabled tighter shock setting and better ride
It took taking apart at least 20 shocks to get 4 that could meet the service bulletins times without totally closing the needle valve
