hey just got my ingalls i dont know if its broke or not does this thing work like a shock with nice smooth action back and forth or not mine seems like there is slop in it(back and forth) about 1/8 of an inch or does it only dampen in one direction, and thats why u tension it?

 

should only dampen in one direction i think. you set the tension by measuring the distance it's open. Tells you in the manul.. Most people set it at 13mm. It should be stiff.

 

thats how i set it up and it works good i just dont know why there is play in it if u try to slide it in or out when the TD is not mounted

 

that's wierd. Mine doesnt have any in it at all. No matter how hard I try I can't make it move either direction.

 

maybe i gotta turn that screw inside there

 

mine has a little play at one end when its not mounted...i just assumed it was supposed to be like that....

 

i talked to ingalls today and they said it was supposed to be like that
so when this thing is working does the damper come together or spread apart?

 

^^Mine's like that too. I'm installing it today (hopefully), so we'll see what happens...

 

i havent had a chance to play with mine it has been in the shop all friggin week.
