SHOCK CLEANING
Oil-fi lled 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.
• Re-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.
• Re-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 fl at surface. When dropping the front of the vehicle, after
the vehicle settles, make sure the front arms are equal and
parallel to the fl at surface. Do the same with the rear to make
sure both arms are parallel with the fl at surface.
Lowering the front ride height increases steering, but
decreases traction. Lowering the rear ride height increases
traction, but decreases steering.
