World shock body hole poorly made

Post by vintage AE »

Once the shock bottom cap is tightened the shaft is so misaligned it won't move! :evil:

Anyone else run into this?

Hard to get a good photo, but

That sucks! So it is the body that isn't drilled correctly and not the shock cap?

It took me a while to loosen the grip on the end of my shaft after trying to slide it in and out of that tight hole but I managed to let go long enough to upload the video to youtube for those non FB people.

Simple, just remove the shock shaft and orings, run a drill bit thru it, wobbling side to side to clearance it, then reassemble. That's how the (eBay) pros do it :lol: Lmao!

That's probably one of the first shock bodies I have seen misbuilt. Usually for me it's a non threaded shock shaft

Associated will send the new on in no time. You won't know it's coming but they ship lightning fast
