In laymen terms, what is rebound, preload, sag, compression and all the other terms used when setting up a shock? What happens when you adjust the preload and compression?
How do aftermarket shocks differ from the stock shocks on a 400ex?

Thanks for the help

If you go to www.Shocconnection.com there is a "Common shock question" part that you can go into. It may not answer all you questions but it will help.

Hey check out the Custom Axis Website. They have a tech manual online that you can look through. I learned alot about the different terms pertaining to shocks from the manual. Check it out at www.customaxisshocks.com
