Ride Control Question

Yes.... if you rotate the flat end rod thru 360 deg, it will go from soft to firm to soft to firm every 360 deg of rotation. There are no real intermediate levels between soft and firm. Its either in soft mode or firm mode. The transition is over a very small number of degrees of rotation..... I would guess under 10 deg.

I suppose actual change is less than 90* but I've always checked them at 1/4 turn increments, I honestly don't thing you'll get a change in only 10* rotation(well possibly moving from the current setting but the other 70* rotation isn't going to make any change)...

Thanks Guys, appreciate all your advice!

Thats exactly what I was trying to say, Tom. The actual transition from soft to firm occurs over a relatively small angle, but the activator rotates the rod way more than that. I guess that is to account for manufacturing tolerances, etc.

Anyone have a miniature degree wheel so I can verify the amount of travel for change of setting???
