Good afternoon all,
I am able to screw the spring seats onto all of the coil sleeves except on one of my shocks. Has anyone else experienced an issue with this, if so, what did you to to fix it? I feel like there is an issue with the threads on the sleeve. No seats will screw on this particular one.
Thanks in advance

It was a while ago, but I think I had one like that. It does sound familiar. I think I put some type of dry lubricant on the threads to help. The plastic on plastic didn't help, but once started, it got easier. I hope you have it figured out.

I encountered this as well but with the sleeve. I was never able to get the seat threaded on despite trying a bunch of different things. Ended up requesting a replacement from FFR and they sent one out.

I think this happened to me. I remember one of the threads on the shock was a bit bent. Bending it back with a screwdriver got the collar to thread.
