Then I put the piston on the stock shaft and got the notchy feel again. I grabbed a Q-tip and pulled the cotton off one end and ran the stick down inside the body of the shock and the bottom 1/2" of the inside of the body I could feel these grooves. So I held it up to the light and you can see there were these circular grooves inside the body at the bottom. There weren't jagged or anything but they were very shallow. That is what was causing my problem. Anyone else ever experienced this?
Yeah, me. I massaged the grooves away with a dremel on slow settings and a polishing end that fitted right in. That helped. I could probably have done the same as you and get it replaced due to slightly faulty manufacturing, but I couldnt be arsed really, it was a fairly easy fix
