I clamp the front segment, real tight. It all works pretty good.

Did any of you guys ever have problems with the rear shocks seeming to bend at the bottom, where it is even with the axle housing? Mine have been dimpling there for years, but it doesn't seem to make much difference. Does anyone know if there is a cure for that?

I've been using this setup for thirty years....I'm satisfied, but I've wondered if there is a cure for the bent shock housings.
