Spring contact with shock body

[jrscirocco]

Noticed the left side spring/shock are making contact at full lock right turn/counter steer.

Raptor 3x rate spring on stock WE non-clicker shock.

Any advice on how to identify the issue short of buying new a arms and a new shock and a new spring? Maybe bushings or something?

Thx

Way too soft on pre-load. When you catch air (sled is weightless) the spring is so loose it's rubbing the shock. I had this happen to my RTS last year. Get your sled on it's side (no weight on it) tighten that preload (compress spring) til it at least holds the keeper (the piece that holds the bottom of the spring). I also have raptor triple rate springs and love them btw, they have a much different preload setup (spring length per preload) than the stock spring.

Roger that. Thank you for the advice.

I got the spring off and saw that it was bent. When talking to Raptor being too loose on the preload was one of the possible causes they suggested could be the cause of the bent spring/contact.

Ordered a new one and as usual Raptor customer service was on point.
