I'm in the middle of rebuilding one of my struts that had it's axle bent when this jerk in a mustang understeered into my front wheel. He really was a jerk.

Anyways, I have a couple of spare struts that my using and rebuilding, but my problem is that when I put everything together, the shocks seem really soft. I'm sure i'm doing something wrong.

My manual doesn't explain the process at all, but I do remember something about turning the shock upside down after putting the oil in and pumping the shock... I think I remember reading that from a different manual that I don't have with me.

I need some help! I'm at my parents doing the work and will eventually need to get home.
