What makes it worse engineers and OEM's sweep blades by lengthening or shortening dampers ( obviously in a fully articulated heads ) For a while you will get away with this. However after a period you will find as one of the dampers is working harder than the others to keep a heavy or light blade in position and therefore keep everything in balance it will become weaker than its neighbours . Guess what, not only do you then get the imbalance back but you then find you have to buy a new set of dampers !!
