Shocks are off

[aaronmicheal6991]

I ordered some 100mm Amazon shocks double spring with the spacer in the middle. Shocks are stiff sprung with no oil in them. The truck is light so I never added oil. The shocks seem to stick when it flexes to one side and don't retract back to normal stance.

What brand are they? Link? What length were you original shocks? What rig are they going on? Descriptive questions tend to get you more help in the long run.

Your right I'm sorry about that. 100mm double spring. Original shocks was one spring 90mm they are going on a Danchee Ridgerunner. I've deleted the battery tray and moved the links to the frame. I can provide pictures if it'll help

Here they are

What happens if you take the shocks off the truck, do they still bind? Says in the description they are supposed to be oil filled, may just need some internal lubrication to prevent the sticking.

It is VERY likely the o-rings are just sticking them in position. Without oil in them they will stop the shock from moving, but eventually the springs will overpower the friction.

I've switched shocks I couldn't tune them 100mm in. I did get a new pair of 90mm shocks.
