Title: Drag link coupler question
Post by: CDN.SD on 2010-05-29 21:20

I took apart two of these last week and each was put together differently, so I was hoping that someone with a manual can tell me the correct way.

Is it,

A- spring, ?T? cup cup ?T? spring

or

B- ?T? spring cup cup spring ?T?

Also, what is the correct way to adjust these? (IE torque or torque and back off)

Thanks in advance
