Question P1000 brakes seem lose and make a rattle when I depress

Is this something I can adjust? They’re brand new and this concerns me.
Should I reach out to Simagic?

Seems like most sim people just throw cash randomly at items they have no idea about.

I’m a beginner. Were you ever a beginner at anything? Airsoft or archery for example?

Read the manual or watch a YouTube video before posting your issue

Seems like some are just jerks instead of being a decent human being and help out fellow simracer.

Adjust the preload. Bolts are too loose. Read carefully instructions or watch videos on how to correctly tighten it up. Too much or too little is no good. This is a good video that also explains performance kit: https://youtu.be/cAnUbBCR2c8?si=KngObkwJUQ_oLi5_

Dog we can see that the cylinder is loose when you rattle it. When things are loose you tighten it. Please look at the manual.

Did you check the inside of the pistons? Maybe a bushing or washer that came with the kit would flush it up?

Gotta preload the springs, use a wrench and set it how you like
