Rod1883 Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 ..should there be any free movement of the arm before the damping effect is felt? I've just taken delivery of a new damper (25% uprated) which, when I move the arm up and down, there is a small amount of free movement on the downward move before the resistance is felt. Before I go back to the supplier to ask, and/or fit the thing - I thought I'd ask on here for thoughts. Thanks Rod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Hold it in the vice as if it were fitted to the car and move the lever up and down through its full movement. The dead spot should go away as any air in them will have gone to the top If not talk to your supplier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rod1883 Posted June 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Thanks Peter - there was a remnant of an old memory in the back of the/my old head that there might be an element of priming required. I'll give it a go. Rod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
