Default Teraflex 9550 shocks & ORE Rockstar issues?

I installed a set of ORE Rockstars this past weekend and I noticed today that the bottom mount of my 9550 shocks are getting tweaked a little.[IMG][/IMG]


Has anyone else had this kind of problem with 9550's or any other shock? Is it something I should be worried about? I would hate to break a shock out on the trail.

Same problem here with my RE shocks. Seems like the shock tab angle could be off slighly on the bracket. I don't know if it really matters much?? I will keep my eye on this thread.

Part of the install of the rockstars is to cycle the suspension to make sure that the rear shocks don't bottom out. If they do, you need to install longer bump stops if I'm not mistaken. Talk to the guys at ORE they'll help you guys out for sure.

Good luck!

Yes, I see the concern. I'm having ORE install mine this Thursday and will ask Mel.
Also noted how close the shock bolt is to the brake caliper bolt. Is this also a problem?
Can the caliper bolt and shock bolt be removed?

They're really not that close. I think it just looks that way in the photo because of the angle that I took the shot. Not a problem removing caliper bolt.
