Default Why do I have a nipple?

Aight then, I have my new moser sitting in the basement, and was looking thru my bags of goodies that came with it, and there is a brass nipple. There is also a hole in the top of the left axle tube. Is it to put a hose on it and use it for a vent? I dunno. Help is appreciated, thanks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

My Moser has a vent on the left axle tube, on top. You are probably talking about the same thing.

Yep, that's for the vent tube.
Moser was nice enough to include that, although they don't include all the bolts you need <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> (although they do tell you what you need). They're a little strange like that.

make sure the vent tube you put from it goes a good ways above the axle tube or else you will lose fluid, i ran mine all the way to the top of my shock.
