bleyseng Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hi there. I recently fitted the correct length +2" shocks to my Hi-Cap 110. Since then i have had my rear springs dislocate twice, whilst off road. My rear springs consist of the normal large spring, plus an extra inner smaller spring inside the big one. Im guessing the purpose of the inner spring is to provide support for heavy weights. My question is: Can i fit regular dislocation cones on the back, even if i have this inner smaller spring? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespanner Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) I'd remove the little spring off if you don't carry vast amounts of weight. I can't see them having anywhere to seat if you fit cones. Edited June 16, 2013 by western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinv8 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'd either do as bluespanner suggests or fix the springs to the top with jubilee clips, to stop them dislocating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy90 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 You don't have x eng springs fitted by any chance ? Simon did a product for extra traction/ dislocation with an inner spring arrangement, doesn't answer ya question :0) but may explain the springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris200100 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Why fit longer shocks to standard spring set up? I got the same set up as you on the rear of my 110 and standard length shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleyseng Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Because its not a standard spring setup. The springs are +2", but until now the shocks were standard, and would bottom out. Recently one failed, so i replaced them with +2" shocks. Anyway, the consensus is that i should remove theinner spring nd fit cones. Thanks guys.

srhsmith Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I have the same issue, I bought a set from QT services but can't for the life of me work out how to fit them. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy_andy Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 The cone bolts to the spring mount on the sxle, the round disc & steel strip are used to clamp the spring to the upper spring seat. Thus the axle drops away from the spring (leaving it hanging) & when it comes back up, the cone relocates the spring onto the spring seat.

This Would it be helpful if I got a couple of pictures of mine fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
