Anyone having trouble with there locking nut on the shocks? Both front and rear. Made adjustment and went to loosen it up and it moved about half a turn and locked up tight. The steel nut moves fine but the Alunimun lock nut stoped like it was gaulded on the threads.Both fronts locked up and the rear locked up. I was able to get one of the fronts to move again and put some silicone on the threads and run both nuts up and down a couple time and it was fine but we couldnt get the rear or the other front shock to move at all. And when I say We I was out with my dealer working on my sled. He was saying its just like the trouble they had with the 04 Ski-doos shocks Alum & Alum dont work good together. No problem with the steel nut. I have had alot of experience with adjustible coil over shocks through race cars and I have installed coil over on my 4 wheeler that I run in the mud and Have not had this kind f trouble before. Any help woould be great.
 
not made to

I thought the same thing when trying to adjust the spring preload, but the upper nut looking thing, isn't a nut at all, it just looks like one.
