To break it in and also to test and be sure that it can withstand a load.
Preload refers to the initial tension applied to the rear suspension components, particularly in relation to the axle, before any load is applied. It affects the ride height and handling characteristics of the vehicle by determining how much the suspension compresses under weight. Adjusting preload can help optimize traction and stability, ensuring that the vehicle performs effectively under various driving conditions. Proper preload settings are essential for achieving the desired balance between comfort and performance.
Preload is the amount the pinion bearings are squeezed together by the pinion nut.
