AE Shocks - Trying to stay calm

[Rob Fitzgerald]

ARGGGGGGGGGGG HHHHH HHH HHH ! !!!!

Phew needed to get that out of my system.

I am trying to build some shocks for a B4 FT and it would be fair to say I am having a few problems.

After hearing some people were having leaking problems I decided to try some blue MIPs ones but they were a real bitch to try and get in and I damaged one - then another and I decided something was up. I wondered if they were oversized so decided to just throw the standard ones in - still mega agro

This is on all bodies so its not just one shock. Its like the seal doesnt want to seat properly and when you go to push the retainer down it 'spluges' the seal out and then pinches it

Its not like I am am newby or anything and must have built quite a few shocks over the years and plenty of AE ones.

Has anyone else had a problem like this - are there some rogue bodies ?
