shock cleanIng

Oil-filled shocks will require regular maintenance due to the oil
breaking down or getting dirty. This maintenance should be performed
after about every 3 to 5 hours of use, depending on the conditions that
the vehicle is used in.
• Remove the shock from the vehicle.
• Remove the cap from the shock body and dispose of fluid.
• Disassemble the shock. Clean thoroughly with DYN5505.
Dry parts before assembly.
• Assemble the shock and refill the shock body with silicone
fluid (30 weight recommended).
• Slowly move the shaft and piston up and down to remove
air bubbles.
• Move the piston to the midway point of the body and install
the cap.
• Wipe off any overflowing fluid.
• When properly filled, the piston should rebound about 3/8 in
(9.5mm) after being pushed in fully.
• Install the shock on the vehicle.
ride height adjustment
Ride height is an adjustment that affects the way the vehicle
jumps, turns and goes over bumps. Drop one end of the vehicle from
approximately 6 inches (152 mm) in height onto a flat surface. When
dropping the front of the vehicle, after the vehicle settles, make
sure the front arms are equal and parallel to the flat surface. Do
the same with the rear to make sure both arms are parallel with
the flat surface.
Lower the front ride height to increase steering. Lower the rear
ride height to increase traction but decrease steering.
