TIP-TOP SHOCK TIPS

Download this tip!

When you follow these tips, you will be doing everything to keep your shocks at peak performance during the season:

1. Protect them from damage, especially the shock rod.
2. Inspect them regularly for damage and excessive oil leakage.  A slight film of oil on the rod is normal.
3. Maintain the gas pressure required for the control forces you are operating.  This pressure was determined when the shocks were built and should be with the dyno data. Because the gas chamber is small on the piggy-back style shock, it cannot be checked. It must be re-charged.
4. Keep track of how many hours the shocks are in operation. After approximately 30 hours, the shocks should be rebuilt, tested on a dynamometer and the control forces verified.

Your car (and your speed) will thank you for it!
