Cracked suspension!

Recommended Posts

I have Works triple-rate front shocks on my shee and just noticed that the one is cracked in half (actually split apart) this weekend. I thought works triple rates are supposed to be good shocks (they sure do cost alot). It doesnt seem like its too much of a hazzard to ride...but i dont know for sure...Did anybody else ever have this problem??? is it safe to ride it like this???

 

I looked in Dennis Kirk for replacement springs and can't find anything...

HELL NO DONT RIDE IT!!! if you want to get hurt then yeah by all means go ride it..if your shock is broken then your wheel is just flopping around in the wind..i would try to get it fixed through works depending on the age and warantee if any..but if not your best bet for the money is to find a good deal on a new front end..a arms shocks the whole deal..do you have extended arms or stock? precision concepts has some good deals on the whole kit and alba has a smokin deal..i got a arms +2 and some mid grade elka shocks (no rezzie but can add) break lines the whole kit for $930. out the door..

Is the shock body cracked in half? or just the springs? you can buy replacement springs.

 

I would just call works for springs. That is a deathtrap riding on broken parts. Do yourself a favor and spend the money to fix it.

just the spring is cracked...and I have stock A-Arms. I know this might sound funny but i think these +2 a-arms and aftermarket shocks prices are bull. I want aftermarket a-arms badly...but the prices are crazy for just springs, metal, and air. banghead

 

Just my opinion

I was just thinkin today that when i sell my blaster I will have at least 1,200 dollars. I was gonna keep buying and re-selling, but then i thought about dumping that money into my quad. Anybody have a +2 A-Arm kit with suspension???

 

Let me know of some prices and deals you guys got on either suspension, A-Arms, or both.
