Same problem I've had with e clips and shoulder bolt.
ORIGINAL: number27
I don't see how the Bandit struts differ from the reaction struts. Appear similar in appearance. I have Reaction struts on a Reaction x 2 and find the Prolinks wear around the shoulder bolt and you end up with excessive movement the e clips come off etc. I previously posted about this issue but was advised I was the odd one out as over 500 sets of Reaction OLEO's had been sold no one else had the same problem. Other jet enthusiasts at our club have the same issues spring sag and shoulder bolt area wear. Now I see others having some issues.
