ON the stock damper? thats just there so that you can stop the damper from rotating when you are trying to get that big nut off.

This is a stupid question. Its only there to stop the rotating of the damper when your taking the whole assembly apart.

Trust me dude, It's just there to stop it from rotating when you're taking the nut off. Look in Mex's spring removal DIY
