MAICK Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 cool thanks man. i was just wondering how long do you guys get on a shock rebuild. i bought mine about 3 years ago. i thought they would of lasted a little longer than they did. although all i ride is sand, so i would imagine that plays hell on the shaft seals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen so far with the works shocks, as long as they don't bottom or top out and you keep the shafts nick free they last quite a while, sand tho like you said can play havoc on shaft seals, hell sand can play havoc period on any seal. 3 year sounds like a good life span to me, from what i'm used too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
