Re: What have you tinkered with today?
not everything is made equal. more than likely a duff unit from the factory. also jet washing shocks too often can kill them.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
do not use a lubricant or copper grease. they are disc bolts so need a thread lock designed for de mounting bolts. Loctite 2259681 Lock ‘n’ Seal is a good one. i personally use a loctite blue stick.

if its titanium bolts please use some form of coating on the threads as they tend to weld themselves onto anything.
