- Equal Bladders -
It
is very important to have matched shocks with regards to
rebound to ensure proper handling on the racetrack. When
you are assembling shocks with bladders, fill the shocks
with oil and bleed as you usually would. Once you place
your rubber bladder into the top of the shock body, use
a small blunt object such as a screwdriver to push the
center of the bladder down to ensure it is fully seated
in the shock body. You can twist it around slightly to
let any trapped oil out from underneath it but be gentle
not to stretch the bladder down and remove too much oil.
Now you can thread your shock cap on and wipe off any
excess oil from the outside of the shock. If you use
this method for each of your bladder shocks they will
all have the perfect bleed, be equal from left to right,
and they won't be over pressurized which could easily
cause a shock cap to blow off after a hard landing.
