Be sure to keep the damper piston assembly parts in the same order. Be sure to keep the damper piston assembly parts in the same order.
NOTICE
If the shims are not centered and in the correct order, the shock will
not perform properly.
If any piston assembly parts are installed in the incorrect order,
the piston assembly, including the tune shim stacks, must be
reassembled in the correct order for proper shock function. Refer
to the Rear Suspension Shim Tuning Guide for piston assembly and
shim stack configurations.
