Did I miss something?

My guess would be that your pulling the shaft out faster than the oil can flow through the holes in the piston thats all. Thats how the damper is designed to work. It "dampens" the up and down movement of the wishbone.

Adams advice sounds like a logical and consistent way of building shocks. If you have done it this way to the letter then i cant see that you have done anything wrong.
