Whats wrong with my shocks??

[ram_tough]

I have the AX10 with assembly NOT included. After putting together the shocks and filling them with the Axial 30 wt oil they all have a rebound (they will push-out from fully compressed) without the springs on. I followed all of the steps from the book so what may have happened or what did I do wrong??

You still have some air in them. Loosen up the cap and slowly cycle the shock. Some oil might leak out, that's OK. With the shaft all the way compressed, tightened the cap. Another thing is you might not have enough oil in them.

exactly, I had the same problems 10 years back. build enough shocks and its like clock work.
