Broke 2 shocks in 2 outings, any ideas why?
davidlandy:
the domed bush washers on the bottom could be the wrong way round - this restricts the shocker movement on the bush under articulation and can cause snapping.
Guardian.:
with the bit left on the shock, does it look atall bent or sheared?
DiscoDan:
Hi.
You could ring David at Llama 4x4 who is very informative on this matter, something to do with the shoulder on the shock stud.
Hope this helps, Dan

Ditto, except that Blue has twin rear ARB and the LSE has the ARB from hell under there. I've ripped the ARB mounts off before now but I can't see how they can put extra strain on the shockers, if anything by limiting articulation they should save the shocker some grief :-k

What bushes are you using with the dampers?
