I just got my PEP's from SFracing and I have already installed them. Now when my shocks extend all the way out like in a wheelie of any time they are not in contact with the ground I get a thump or a slight bump in my bars and steering stem making is feel like something is hitting or is loose. Why are my shocks doing this? I did tell the guy that I'd eventually have extended A-arms on my quad, do you think he set them up for them?

maybe theres not enough preload or tension on the springs and they have play in them? thats the only thing I can think off besides a bushing or something thats bad

well I'm told that the shock just runs out of travel and that its normal.

It could be one of several things but I'd suggest putting the quad up on stands and checking it out for yourself raher than just riding it and guessing what the problem might be.

put your quad on a stand and make sure there is still tension on the spring. If not...make it so there is
