mrcp with bent links Q's

[diesel kawboy]

Last night I put bent links on my pro and it feels like it doesn't cycle properly.
The links don't make contact, and ideas?

just a guess is the hardware to tight iv always tighten it till it touches the mounts and stopped

That's a good idea, I sometimes have that problem

Until they loosen up, the ball in the rod ends can be a bit tight. I use Lock-Eze which is a liquid graphite lube. It goes in easy, cycle the joint, wipe off excess.
Since you're just tightening a screw through a steel ball in the rod-end, it really won't make a difference how tight it is....it's how tight the ball is in the plastic.

If you leave the screws loose, you are rotating the ball on the screw, not a good thing long term.

What I thought was bind turned out to be the inverted shock cap hitting the axle mount. I realized i need to outboard the shock mounts.
