Poor Little Cone Style

Thanks for your input. The shims I use really don't have anything to do with the amount I machine off. Also, .100" were not used here. I use the shims to bring the preload back to the springs. It works. I choose to machine that amount for one reason. So that it will be a long time before the unit needs servicing again.

As far as operation, we can agree to disagree. The grooves are much deeper than just for lubrication. The Auburn site explains it in depth. I don't know if this is the thread or not, but I posted the link to their site and the description is crystal clear.
