I was wondering about drilling bigger holes to change the dampening.Or just adding an additional hole or two.olds97_lss said:With the OFNA/UE shocks, the holes are so small that 40 makes it bouncy, the oil can't hardly get through the holes. If you drill the holes out to 1/16 (or 1/32, can't remember), basically a little bigger than they are, then 40 works well.
I unintentionally messed up my disks in my shocks. There were little burrs on the edge of the disk making the action not smooth. They were brand new disks. So, I had the bright idea of putting the shock shaft in a drill and dragging the disk accross sand paper while the drill was spinning... now I run 80 weight in my front shocks! But, it's almost like it was when I was running 40. 40 weight after this mess up felt like water, very springy and almost no dampening.
I run the UE navy blue springs on all 4 corners on my savage while using 4 UE shocks only.
Is it worth the drilling or to just change the fliud wieght?olds97_lss said:Wondering what? Just if it would change the characteristics of the shock?
It just does what I said, makes the thicker oil more managable. I tried going as low as 25 with the stock holes and they still seemed awful stiff, so I drilled them out a bit and upped it to 40, then it was just about right. 35 or a little bigger hole, but at that point, it's more personal preference.
