SET-UP
INCORRECT
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
The self-locking nut is overtightened, causing 
distortion  of  the  piston. This  will  negatively 
affect the free movement of the piston in the 
shock body.
DETAIL
CORRECT
TIGHTEN GENTLY
The  self-locking  nut  is  gently  tightened.  The 
piston remains  undistorted and  fits inside the 
shock body perfectly, ensuring smooth movement 
of the piston.
DETAIL
Install the piston with Professional Multi 
Tool (HUDY #183011)
