Swift Spring Install Issues

sandersd

If anyone has any documentation from a manufacturer as to why the shock shaft cannot turn without damaging the shock please post a link. I've searched and cannot find anything definitive other than the admonition not to let it turn. Google gave a link to KYB's faq answering this exact question but when I clicked it it gave a 404 error. I manually went to the KYB website but the faq has changed from Google's search results.

I'm wondering if the shaft not turning requirement is simply to allow the nut to be torqued properly and not to prevent damage to the shock. Visualizing the working of the piston in the cylinder I don't see how the shaft turning could possibly damage anything.
