Re: IFS steering damper shock

Mike better to loosen up the belly plate and take the bolt off the 1 side, push it in, it should go in with resistance. Then pull it out, same resistance. Then you know its ok.

No resistance means its gone.

Shock to bend like that because of the spring was under pressure(spring was compressed too much), look like 50mm spacers. That would give a lift of 100mm. Also cause side shaft angles to be out.

If you fit spacers nothing more than 25mm.
