    shocks

    I took my shocks apart today
    took the springs off of the shock
    I noticed that the shock pushed in real easy
    but pulled out with resistance

    i thought that they should go both ways with resistance

    any thoughts
    78E standard

    Possibly more resistance when getting longer to counter the 'rise' in the rear suspension under acceleration.

      Resistance is FUTILE!!

      Hey Willy,

      Any shock I've seen and messed with DID seem to have the same resistance both compressing and extending, sounds like the metering is messed up on yours!? IF they are the OEM's, sounds like time to get new ones!

      Prom, I'm trying! My dad taught me about Puns decades ago when I finally got to meet him when I was 15 y/o! He's now passed away, but fond memories!
