07 Phazer FX Shock Rebuildable?

[woodydog]

My sled has this shock in it.
Is it rebuildable? It doesn't come up after I push down on the back of the sled.
Who would you suggest I have do it?
Cost estimate?
Thanks,

yes rebuildable, typically $30-$40 bucks per assuming they re-valve it to your specific weight/driving styled

yep, take a look for some vendors on this site.

or they might even chime in to help.

Is Hygear a good one to use?

 

[xt_gt]

i've heard a few people use them before.
i have never had any shocks rebuilt before so i can't say who's good & not.
i'd call some places; hygear, pioneer perf, carver & others and see if they're within your pricing & how the service is.

Your shock does not lift your sled back up after you push it down. The springs do. Your shock is fine. Is your sled on dollies?

it might prevent the springs from lifting it back up if it's really bad

It's not on Dollies. It's my girlfriends sled, it only has 3,000 miles on it. It has never acted the way it does now. I turned the clicker all the way to hard from where it was set, about 5 clicks from full soft and it didn't make a difference. I can only assume the shock needs a rebuild. I can push it all the way down till it bottoms, it does not raise back up. She only weighs about 120 suited up. I don't know what else it could be?

It could but I agree with spike.Probably the normal big sag issue.

 

[xt_gt]

what are the torsions set on? if they are on soft, it's barely going to move after you push down.

With 3000 miles you are due for a rebuild anyways. gets the oil changed and freshens the shock up. Revalves make a big difference.

 

[cannondale27]

True its due.

 

[woodydog]

I changed them to medium from soft after it bottomed so easily with me pushing on it and wouldn't come back up unless I lifted it up. Do I have to pull the skid to get the shock out?
Thanks for all of the comments and ideas.

No but if skid hasnt been out this year probably should go over it also.

Like cannondale said.
