Brand New RSX 17505 doesn't extend? Bad shock??

[Atrus]

Hey guys -

Want your opinion. I have the front end town down and one coilover disassembled.

I did the 1/4 turn on my 17505 to release the piston. It wouldn't extend. I tried it on the other 17505 one and it released, smooth as butter. The one I had issues with seemed pretty tight to turn it.

I can force it up, but it doesn't extend on it's own. Seems to compress OK.

What do you think? Bad shock from the factory?

This one is going on the passenger side in case I do need to tear it back down as I won't have to remove the battery and all that jazz.

id just call rancho and ask them personally

Did you try turning the cylinder in the opposite direction? Just a thought.

It should release on on it's own.

ya i dont know if i would put it in if it wasnt even opening properly to begin with unless rancho says so, and they are aware of the proplem before it goes on the car

Turning it more didn't help. Rancho was closed today - M-F only.

I put it on and we'll see how it works.

Thanks guys
