K1 front suspension help

[Tobamory]

Just been building the car and attached the front suspension, if I press on the car at the front it stays down lol, doesn't seem to much rebound.

I built the shock as per the book, at full tilt I filled it up and plunged up and down to remove oil, I then made sure it was full up and popped on rubber cap and screwed the cap on, am I doing something wrong as the rebound doesn't seem that strong.

Can anybody also tell me what the measurement is supposed to be from bottom of shocker to the ball, the book looks to have a mistake and I can't read it right.

Is it 27.5 or 22.5.

Ay advice please on my shocker less shockers.

Back seem on

Loosen off the hinge pin nut a little bit. I had the same problem

[Tobamory]

That nut being the one that nearly touches the chassis underneath, back of the wishbone?

Seems better but not super free n easy I can see clearance between nut and plastic also

Did you guys grease it?

[Andrew Twigger]

Grease is not needed. Yes, the nut that is next to the chassis, you should only need to back the nut off a little bit if at all. See if undoing the inner hinge pin itself helps at all? This is a coarse thread so only a tiny amount should be needed - depending on how tight you did it in the first place.

If you have your camber links installed it could also be your hub binding. Make sure all of it moves freely.
