Rear Shocks - advice please

(1/5) > >>

Nurse Julie:
Hi Chaps
I have Hagon shocks on this 400/4. On the nearside bottom fixing the PO has put 3 washers on to move the bolt out by a nano so the end of the bolt misses the nuts that hold the sprocket on. Should I also put a couple of washers on the fixing at the top of the shock, there is only 1 at the moment, so it brings the top out by a nano as well and should I do the same on the offside even though there is nothing for the bottom bolt to foul on ?

Ta in advance
Julie

Hi Julie,
           The PO washers were probably to make up for incorrect length bolts, the shocks should line up when fitted as per parts drawing.---Ken

Nurse Julie:
Thanks Ken. That makes sense, I will cut the end of the bolt off.
Thank you

Trigger:
I would not be cutting the bolt if it is the right length. what you may find is that the shock eyes are slimmer than the OEM, so the PO has put washers in to pack it out.

Nurse Julie:
Ok, I won't cut it off then  ::) ::)
