Spring / Armature Bar allignment tool…

There are tools you can purchase to properly align your springs
and a-bars to the tube hole on the front of the machine. Proper
alignment is very important. In order to get a maximum transfer
of energy from the rear spring to the a-bar you have to get the
springs in alignment with the frame geometry, and the a-bar.
Pulse™ makes a nice one; it looks like a tube, but has a notch
in the top for the a-bar nipple to set in. This will let you get the
alignment just right from the a-bar to the tube-vice hole.
