team...calm down, its ok. i'm sure if you're correct on the technical term, its still ok to call it pre-load. why? well, you do "load" the suspension and tighten the bolts BEFORE you set the car back down on the floor...where it gets loaded from the car weight. so in that sense... you would "pre-load" the suspension and that would make the term technically correct wouldn't it?

either way, its just like what we learn in auto class... are cars aren't equipped with shocks...but we are so accustome to calling them shocks then mcpherson struts.

i mean... imagine, calling up teins and trying to get help on ordering some basic coil-over shocks and telling them they are wrong... "its called mcpherson struts dumb-***!" better yet, coilover mcpherson struts...

see where i'm getting at? and by the way...it just rolls off the tongue better, shocks. so be easy man, its cool.

Dude, he posted that like 2 months ago...i just didn't wanna start a new thread since it was on the same topic.

And I'm not sure I agree with your analogy...calling it pre-loading is misleading whereas calling it a strut or shock doesn't confuse anybody...my opinion anyway.
