You will be left with parts as shown above. Be carefully not to lose anything!!!!! On the spring from the left hand fork leg please note that the sharing wrap has started to migrate down the length of the spring. This should be situated in the middle of the spring to deaden the noise as the middle of the spring hits the inside of the leg. You can always wind it back to its original position and rebuild, but the chances are that it will soon work its way back down again. The simple way to sort this problem once and for all is to use 25mm heatshrink and slide on to the spring as per picture below.
This process can be quite tricky, but the tube will go on eventually. Take care to leave the bottom and top of the spring clear for an even seating.
The infamous fox vanilla rattle/clunk
How to cure that horrible, annoying, embarrassing, off putting, general pain in the arse noise that comes bundled with the otherwise quality Fox vanilla fork.
First thing to note is that this problem although sounding like a loose headset, is not actually damaging the fork itself. It is an unfortunate characteristic that some forks seem to have. If you can live with the noise then fine, carry on. If not.........
There is no substitute for the proper fox manual when it comes to stripping the forks down. There is absolutely no point in us showing how to do it any better than the owners manual which is one hundred percent correct. Download here.
Strip the fork exactly as described in the manual.
