My apologies if this has been brought up before.
I just rebuilt my shocks for the first time since the original build. If built per the manual, I get "negative rebound", for lack of a better term.. In otherwords, at full extension, the shocks want to compress on their own. I corrected the problem by staring over but, this time, not compressing the shock all the way before screwing in the bleeder screw.
Did AE intend for the shocks to do this on their own?
When you bleed the shock by pushing the piston to the top the shaft and piston take the space of the oil you bleed out. When you fully extend the shock shaft you create a vacumm effect so it draws the shaft back in. Its totally normal. Just build with 0 rebound and you are good.
