Thread: Shit...

It happens:

Yowza! What were they? Those k sports?

warranty

Outside of warranty, the set is about 3 years old, warranty only covers 1 or 2 years. I'm the 3rd owner though.

But yeah, K-Sport rear. This pic was taken a few months ago, though. The other rear's busted as well.

Isn't it only like $400 for a set of brand new shocks?

Maybe in The States, in Europe they cost around 700 euros (do a currency comparison for a real shocker), but I don't like the quality of the shocks anyways (noises coming from the endlinks and stuff). Going for a CSK with Hyperco's now.

End links mount to the shock bodies???

Yeah. Problem is, after a while the cups of the endlinks wear out, so the spherical part can move around, and clunk alot.

Have you considered maybe drilling them with a small hole, then fitting a zirc on each end link? They look like they would benefit from regular lube. Here's what I mean although obviously a different link, same idea, w/o reasonably regular lube these dry up too - I've retrofitted zircs into several things to make regular lube a lot easier, although these came from Progress already with fittings:

Guy I know has replaced 3 of his K-Sport shocks and the front 2 friggin' times.
Rubbish if you ask me.
