I was just wondering how production line suspension is assembled, shocks mainly. I assume PDS shocks are put on the bleed pump at WP but what about SHOWA and KYB shocks.

I talked with a Japanese guy from KYB and he said they just have lines of shocks set up and workers just walk from shock to shock pumping it and then move on to the next. He said it was comical to watch.

I dont feel they bleed them very well at the factory-so im guessing no bleed pump etc.

Marcus,

Are you referring to WP shocks, or Japanese?

WP shocks are all vacuum bled at the factory.
