moody0187 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hey guys I think I've got a problem. Everytime I hit a jump my rear brake caliper smashes into my silencer. Do I need to adjust my rear shock or Is it blown? I'm pretty sure its an aftermarket rear. I'll take a pic later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW, if its compressing that much its proly blown or your 400lbs Adjust the comp nob at the top of the shock ALL the way to the right and that will stiffen it up some. You can also tighten down the spring at the top also with an adjustable spanner wrench, or if your ghetto, a hammer and punch will get it done. Its easier to adjust that nut with no weight on the rear susp and it hanging free with the rear wheels off the ground. You can rebuild the rear shee shock for pretty cheep also. Give the adjustment a go. Then check back. Edited October 1, 2009 by savage420 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moody0187 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 One more question. Is my caliper mounted wrong? It has a durablue axle. I was looking at some pics on here and it seems all the others are mounted more to the rear and down. Also I think the shock is a BWA? Not sure on the name its pretty dirty.

SAVAGE420 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yes your rear brake is mounted wrong. Your brake stay should be pivoted back some with the round house swing arm you have. Might have to loosen or pull it apart and pivot the brake stay back some. (Thats what the caliper is mounted too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
