Shot Procomp Shocks??????

(1/5) > >>

Disco Bristol:
I can make my Disco bounce a hell of a lot without much effort. I can stand normaly next to the disco without bracing myself and with one hand make the disco bounce as if there were no shocks.

It looks like it is mainly the front two shocks that are a problem.

I decided to remove one of the recently fitted (2/3 months old) Procomp shocks.

As soon as I removed it I tried compressing and decompressing it. There were about 6 inches of travel where there was no resistance whatsoever, I could compress and decompress it with no trouble at all (as easy as moving and elastic band). The rest of the travel was much harder to compress and decompress, you could hear the gas/liquid slurping though like when they were new. On that note, I have not noticed any leaks from the shocks.

So tell me, is this normal? I can’t imagine it is.

doesnt sound right to me, ring explorer uk on tues ...they will prob send you new ones.

defenderdan:
Have you fitted your shocks as you show in your diagram with the shock body at the top and the piston at the bottom? If so this is the most likely cause of your shocks early demise. I have bought several sets of procomp shocks and every time i have been warned to make sure the fronts are the right way up (you cant fit the rears upside down). If i remember right i think it is stamped on the shock too.

davidlandy:

when ever theres a problem with a shocker it seems to be one of these, or it just seeming that way as there are more of them out there?
