It seems the o-rings are to snug on the shock shafts and after a few strokes they wipe the oil away and they begin to stick and the pointer on the shock matching tool goes all over the place. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciate. I'm happy to see this thread being used again.
I think that much of diffrence in sticktion can be over by a spring, IMO you just to have make Spring preload, Length and rebound of the shock equal. to make rebound equal I just stick a C shaped ring on the shaft while I build one as picture, come to my blog for more detail tips
