[QUOTE="Redordead89, post: 210514, member: 1590"] The hole on the bottom of the shock is non existent, it's a fork that goes over the linkage knuckle with a straight hole on one side of the fork and a threaded hole on the other side that receives the bottom shock bolt once it's passed through the bearing in the knuckle! 88+89 bottom bolt as you say are the same part! I guess the outer radius of the bearing is larger on the 89 but the inner is the same to accommodate the same bolt! I have never stripped out the rear shock internals and adjuster screw but I gotta think the screw threads into a valve which bottoms and tops out so when you first put the screw in the hole the first few turns are screwing into the valve then next few-couple of turns will be your adjustment and in reverse start turning the screw out the adjustment will topout then next turn will break the lock on the thread and start unscrewing the screw!?!?!?!?
