Greetings,
I've just pulled the DHX4 Coil out of my SX Trail and noticed that the reducer in the top eye (ie, the one closest to the main body) does not rotate. When I tighten the through bolt that attaches the shock to the frame, it binds the shock and it does not rotate around the bolt.
The Fox manual shows a gear puller being used to extract the reducer from the shock so that makes me think it is supposed to be fixed (in contrast, the one on my Rp3 spins freely).
Can anyone confirm whether the reducer should rotate inside the eye? If not, I'll need to machine up some kind of crush tube to stop the shock mount tabs closing in on the shaft and binding it.
Cheers,
Scott.
