ram er.. dam

[Liam]

faulty dump?? not letting the fluid retern??

[fatdaddy]

if its a front one and you just welded it back on without making sure that lack of "play" hadn't caused the original fractures then its possibly mechanical "stiction" jamming it.
crack a pipe fitting from it to see if it drops. this ill tell you if its a dump [if it does move] or mechanical [ if it doesn't].

[Liam]

its a rear! no one iv messed with

[fatdaddy]

do the pipe thing the same to start.
if its not a dump either mechanical due to poor mounting angles, a gland bush jammed with shit or a seal twisted in its seat
