Vinnyboy 23 Posted June 29, 2019 Hi, well I’ve just built up my standard shocks from the kit and filled them with oil but not sure if they are working correctly. I’ve stripped and checked and refilled a couple of times. All 4 are the same. I’m unable to fully compress them. Approximately 8mm left. They fully compress with no oil in. Is this normal ? Help appreciated, thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinnyboy 23 Posted June 29, 2019 Sorted. I undid the strut nut a tiny bit and pushed the shocks fully in. A very small amount of oil came out. Tightened the nuts and now the shocks feel good and have full movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zakspeed 187 Posted June 30, 2019 Yep you had too much oil in so piston couldn't move freely in the body. Glad you've sorted it... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
