Is This Fitted Right?

[ChowderV4]

Can anyone tell me if this is fitted correctly, its just ive put it all back together and the rear seems to be lower than normal, plus the suspension is alot less reactive. what have i dont wrong this time

[porndoguk]

is the bush of the triangle cusion arm on the bottom of the shock or the bearing side?

dog bone is the right way round,

your hub wil be wrong by 180 degrees... looks like you fitted a chain..so did you remove the hub too?

[ibby4585]

You can only fit it one way can't you??

I take it's the same shock??

+1 Mark, reckon the hub has flipped all the way round.

ah well my hub is adjusted all the way up but it wont stay like that, the chain i fitted is too long and i was confused why it wasnt tightening up.
so once the hub is in a normal position should it be ok? and no i didnt take off the hub.
yes same shock etc.

The triangle arm attaches to the shock and the dogbone , that's the right way round too.

There you go..adjusting chain alters the ride height. I reckon it is still wrong though, looks like a bobber.

Why did you remove the shock? Just to clean it up?

[ChowderV4]

yeah just a general clean up, didnt do anything with the bearings etc, but your right it doesnt look or feel right.
ive put the chain adjuster back to normal and it looks a little better but it still feels wrong.
I cant ride it around my culdesac to see what it feels like riding becasue the chain is too slack and i cant sort that until the weekend.

Did you torque the bolts up right or just do them until your elbow cracked instead ? ( is you've over tightened the bolts)

[ChowderV4]

I dont have a torque wrench so i may have over tightened them a bit, i didnt go nuts because i knew that i dont have a torque wrench i could slacken them slightly and see if that makes any difference.
