Magnaride rear shock stiff operation

[Robottrainer]

Had the car up the air a couple days while I did the control arm bearing/toe link/toe link bearing/vert link/axle upgrade. Disconnected and pulled the shocks to make life easier.

Once I got the control arms back in and shocks installed, it felt alot stiffer. I thought it was the big BK055 bearing but when we unbolted the shocks, it moved easily. Took it out for a ride and left it in normal mode. Felt a little stiffer.

Is there a relearn after disconnect? Do they have to "reset"?

May be just an impression - there is a process to zero ride height (requires Ford diagnostic tool AFAIK) but if you're right height has not changed, it should have had not much impact.

Same ride height all around. You are right. It might be an illusion on my part
