These were made 3/16 inch or .1875 larger at lower portion of taper. Found to be slightly too stiff and could feel the tires absorbing more than they should. Removed struts again and machined 1/2 of oversize off. Now strut is 3/32 inch or .09375 oversized Of course all shimmy is removed even with 3/32 oversized. I have bounced it about 5 ft @ 100 over gross and spar box is fine. Think I will leave it this way, it sure has a confident feel with no shimmy. Of course you remember I have an Esqual not a Lightning Dave Mcc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message lightning-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Lightning-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/lightning-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/lightning-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
