PROPER INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE IS ESSENTIAL TO MAINTAIN THE PERFORMANCE AND
RELIABILITY OF YOUR SHOCK ABSORBERS.
To avoid corrosion, you should keep the shocks and springs clean, free of dirt and moisture. The wiper
seal will clean deposits from the shaft, but the shock won’t necessarily fully compress every time. This
means you could accumulate dirt at the bottom of the shaft and underneath the jounce bumper. Make
sure you clean these areas completely to prevent shaft corrosion. Avoid using a high-pressure washer
near the shaft seals or adjusters, as this could drive dirt inside the shock.
Make sure the ends of the spring and shock threads are clean and free of dirt before adjusting the
preload ring. This will make the adjustment easier and reduce wear.
Ideally, the shocks should be clean around the adjusters. Use a small amount of contact cleaner before
making adjustments will keep these parts clean and operating smoothly for years
NOTICE: Keep the shock and spring clean and free of dirt or water to avoid corrosion. Keep the shock
shaft clean and free of mud. Avoid using a high-pressure washer near the shaft seals and adjusters.
Before adjusting preload or the crossover ring, clean the threads of the shock body for easier
adjustment and mitigating wear.
