Fill the Losi shock with oil to the bottom of the threads inside the body, then screw on the cap/shaft assembly till there is about 1/16" gap between cap and body. move piston down all the way, let oil bleed out, then tighten cap. Your done. If you pull the shaft out, it should go back in a third of the travel or so. Same thing if you push the shaft in, it should come back out about a third. Install and crawl.
