There have been many previous points regarding the EDFC in the “How to fit” section, but this time we will look at the hexagon bolt within the piston rod. When installing the EDFC to the shock absorber, please remove the click with the appropriate tool and replace it with the motor. When you remove the click, there is a 1 hexagon bolt inside the piston rod (it may be dark and difficult to see). Remove the hexagon bolt inside the piston rod and replace it with the hexagon bolt included in the “EDFC kit”.

There have been many incidents where this hexagon bolt included in the “EDFC kit” was not used. If the motor was installed onto the shock absorber with the original hexagon bolt, the hexagon bolt will only go in as far as the edge of the piston rod as shown in (Photo 6). If you then attach the motor in this position, then motor will not be able to fully reach the threading on the piston rod as in (Photo 7), and will be in an unstable condition. (The appropriate state is as shown in Photo 8, where the motor was properly tightened to the correct position). There have been many customers who have called or returned their motor because of this problem.

When installing the EDFC, please make sure to replace the hexagon bolt, and then install the motor.
