Ian,
Yep, there isn't much inside these forks; just a big spring and a
damper mechanism (really just a piston with holes in it). The fork
tubes are held to the upper plate by those big fork nuts and also the
triple tree clamps. I don't suspect that your tube is loose in the
mounts. I'd try some heavy motor oil in your forks such as 70 or 50
wt.; pretty easy to drain and fill.

 Hey Paul,

I don't have the cartridges like you have on your Eldo. Mine just have
springs. I keep thinking that there is a little play at the top and they
bang when I hit something a little bigger than they like. I do need to check
the steering though to be sure it isn't that.

Hi Ian ..I had the same problem you speak of ,it turns out the solution
was the replacement of my shock cartridges , but I have the disc brake
fork which is different than the old system on the ambo. But it sure
dose sound like the same type of problem though.
Hey when should I expect to see you up in Timmins ??
Take car , Paul
