unless you go by Dorian, then you are fine. it should not really budge by hand. if it did, you would have problems.

no problem. i would not have known for sure, had i not played with it while dialing the freeplay out of my cable.
but your thinking was good - on my eclipse, i can push the fork pretty decently (all those hours at the gym, i guess). ahh, the difference between a real AMERICAN car vs a toy car.

Thats what I was comparing it to....my girls '93 Tercel. I can push it back like butter, so I was thinking something was wrong with my clutch in the stang.
