Diaz Suspension Design on Instagram: "Took awhile to figure out what was happening and how to clip that shows it... We figured the axle lug was twisting on the axle when tightened because we had already straightened the uppers and the lowers were coming out twisted after they were tightened while fully compressed in the lowers.

I used a piece of glass (pretty flat) and was able to get a visual of the stanchion tube moving while tightening the lug... I've tried holding the legs tightly against the glass, tried putting a bucket of oil on them to hold them flat while I tightend the axle and it still comes out out of alignment to the other leg.

I had a friend in the shop the other night who is an engineer and I gave him the fork and said here you figure it out 😂.... He did figure out that you can pre twist the fork in the opposite direction of where it's going to rotate the lug/stanchion tube. Then when you tighten it it rotates it back into alignment... It's not perfect but it's a hell of a lot better that not twisting it before you tighten the last lug... It's not a super hard twist just a little past taking out the very little play in the bushings... I don't really like it because there's a lot of variables but so far it's the best thing we have going to make this fork ride well...."
