Image 1: Pro Shocks Big Body Shock with Lock Nut and Travel Guide. This diagram illustrates the placement of the replacement lock nut and travel guide on a Pro big body shock. The travel guide is shown sliding up and down on the rod, used during setup to determine shock settings. The lock nut is positioned at the top, securing the shock end.
Operating Instructions
Once installed, the travel guide will move along the shock rod as the shock compresses and extends. After a race or test session, observe the position of the travel guide to understand the maximum compression achieved by the shock. This information is crucial for fine-tuning your suspension settings.
The lock nut's primary function is to maintain the integrity of the shock assembly by preventing the shock end from loosening due to vibrations and dynamic forces during operation.
Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the lock nut and travel guide for any signs of wear, damage, or loosening.
- Cleaning: Keep the components clean from dirt, grime, and race debris to ensure proper function and visibility of the travel guide.
- Tightness Check: Ensure the lock nut remains securely tightened to prevent unthreading.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lock nut loosens during operation. | Insufficient tightening during installation or extreme vibration. | Re-tighten the lock nut. Consider using a thread-locking compound if the issue persists (consult a professional). |
| Travel guide does not move freely. | Dirt or debris on the shock rod, or physical damage to the guide. | Clean the shock rod and travel guide. Inspect for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Travel guide provides inconsistent readings. | Improper installation or damage. | Verify correct installation. Ensure the guide is not binding. Replace if damaged. |
| Component does not fit. | Incorrect part for the specific shock model. | Confirm compatibility with your Pro big body shock model. Contact Speedway Motors support if unsure. |
