2007 Attak skid assembly

[Miata Mike]

I just got my parts back from Half Baked and can't find a good diagram or pictures showing how to put it back together. I have only my new phone to research, and guess where my pictures I took are.....yup, on the old phone 70 miles away.

I do have the exploded parts list that has helped some. A picture or two would help me a lot or a link. Thanks!

Thank you! Are the mono shock needle bearings just held in by grease? looks like my grease was a bit dry.

 

[steiner]

Yes

 

[Miata Mike]

Good. I packed a little fresh grease in there. Not like it is a high speed bearing. The stuff kind of looked like a thin layer of rubber.

Thanks again!

Guys, is there supposed to be resistance on that smaller shock, the one without the spring? I removed it and it moves back and forth without effort.

 

[Stubbs]

No, that’s the transfer rod, it’s used for suspension coupling, it is not a shock.

 

[Austlor]

No, that’s the transfer rod, it’s used for suspension coupling, it is not a shock.

Thanks for the info. So does the transfer rod provide an resistance or is it supposed to move back and forth freely?

 

[Viper_Dave]

It moves freely. It's only function is as a coupler to control transfer .

 

[Austlor]

Great, thanks for the great info Dave.
With that being said, this is adjustable. What are the benefits of going shorter vs longer? I assume rider weight and riding style have something to do with it?
