! Step 12. Match the short, front shock bodies (125) to the short,<br />
front shafts (118), and the long, rear shock bodies (126) to the<br />
long, rear shafts (119).<br />
! Step 13. Fill the shock body (125), (126) with shock fluid (127)<br />
up to the bottom of the threads inside the shock body (125), (126).<br />
! Step 14. Insert the shaft assembly with the cartridge against<br />
the shock piston (123), (124). Slowly tighten the cartridge about<br />
two full turns only. With the cartridge still slightly loose, slowly<br />
push the shock shaft (118), (119) into the shock body (125), (126).<br />
This will bleed the excess fluid out of the shock. Once the shaft<br />
(118), (119) is all the way in, tighten the shock cartridge the rest of<br />
the way.<br />
*NOTE: Be sure to match the front shock shafts with the front shock<br />
bodies.<br />
! Step 15. Now, with the shaft (118), (119) still all the way in,<br />
secure the cartridge by tightening it with pliers or a wrench<br />
approximately an additional 1/8 turn. There should be no air in<br />
the shock as you push the shaft (118), (119) in and out. If there is,<br />
the shock needs more fluid. If the shock does not compress all<br />
the way, the shock has too much fluid in it.<br />
*NOTE: If leaking persists around the outside, tighten the cartridge<br />
more.<br />
! Step 16. Repeat Steps 13-15 for all four shocks.<br />

! Step 17. Snap a bottom shock spring cup (128) onto each of<br />
the four shafts (118), (119) and around the shock end (120).<br />
! Step 18. Slide a front (short) shock spring (129) over each of<br />
the two front shocks so that the spring rests on the spring<br />
cup (128). Slide a rear (long) shock spring (131) over each of the<br />
two rear shocks so that the spring rests on the spring cup (128).<br />
! Step 19. Thread a shock spring adjustment nut (130) on to the<br />
top of all four shock bodies (125), (126). Thread the spring<br />
adjustment nuts (130) on to the shocks until the nut (130) just<br />
touches the spring (129), (131).<br />
! Continue with Step 22/Fig.49.<br />
*NOTE: Final adjustment should be made once the car is fully<br />
built and all radio gear and electrics are installed. Refer to the setup<br />
sheet provided in the back of this manual for final ride height adjustment.<br />
