Hi,

I was adjusting my rear suspension and used the spanner wrench to put in the shock into the minimum preload (1) setting. I did it a rather stupid way, going all the way around - up to 5 then the big drop down into 1 - instead of what I presumed after the fact would be the better way - going reverse from 5 to 1.

So my question is - did I likely do damage to the cam or the shock in any way?

It was my first time adjusting them, so I'm uncertain. They appear to be alright. Have you ever done this?

Let the experts chime in, but I don't see why that would matter.

 

I don't see it mattering. It's somewhat of an independent piece that is meant to rotate. Usually if it can't do that, it would have a stop on it.

My guess is if it didn't break in the process then it is perfectly fine.
