Re: [ST] Shock suggestion

Sorry, what I meant to say was that they take the preload adjuster
mechanism off the top of the shock and install it on the new shock.  All
existing adjustments and adjustment locations are retained.  this is the
only part of the old shock that is reused.  I don't know why they send the
old shock back, but it is satisfying to know that they didn't reuse any
other parts.  This is a gas filled shock.  Making adjustments to the gas
pressure is not a do-it-yourself prospect unless you have access to the
equipment, but you probably have access to a  local shop should you find it
necessary.

Hope that is clearer as I wasn't clear about it in the first place.  If you
are going to deal with Works Performance, call them directly so your
questions can be answered.  I found their web site ordering to be unwieldy,
especially since I really didn't know what I needed to order.  they were
very helpful on the phone.
