How to Install Triple Rate on Sway-A-Way
Coilover Shocks
The is a simple diagram of a Sway-A-Way coil
over shock with triple rate installed. For general reference the "TOP" of
the shock is the end with the reservoir hose, and the "bottom" of the shock
is the lower eyelet.
From the top in consecutive order here are
the parts used:
1. Preload Ring (Red ring near the top of the
shock).
2. Steel shim (used to reduce friction while
preloading).
3. Tender Spring (small light coil spring in
red).
4. Spring divider (turned down for triple
rate).
5. Upper Main Spring.
6. Secondary engagement rings (also called
crossover rings, chrome steel).
7. Spring Divider (long collar points up).
8. Lower Main Spring.
9. Lower Spring Seat.
Everything slides up onto the body from the
"bottom" of the shock.
Keep the springs just snug at full extension
as allowing the coils to come unseated can cause damage.
