fx nytro (Rear shock help)

[rbell14]

Just noticed that when i manuually compress the rear suspension it does not rebound. Just stays compressed as if there is no rebound pressure. Shock looks fine, ideas on issue or where to start?

Does it ride like it's a pogo stick or does it actually absorb bumps? Probably needs to be rebuilt

Check your springs one may have broke.....shock won't make it rebound the spring does that....

The shock won't automatically spring back as it is not gas charged.

Well the shock does have oil & gas charged but it won't spring the back of the sled up by itself needs help from the spring.....also check the adjuster blocks one or both may have broke off too

Rode 140 miles yesterday and the suspension felt normal. After power washing today noticed the rear does not bounce back up (how it would we you release tie down on trailer.

I wil double check tomorrow to see if i notice springs broke.

Everything looks right under the sled. All springs and torsion adjustments are in good shape. It seems to me that the dampen shock in rear of skid is the one that may have no rebound to it. This shock does not have a coil spring on it.

The one in front of skid has coil spring and looks fine. I think rebound issue is with the shock closest to rear of sled. Seems to have no rebound??

Sled stays compressed when i push down on rear grab bar.

Mine does the same thing. But when riding it does go up. Is everything lubed? When you manualy lift it does it stay up?

 

[rbell14]

When i lift the rear up it will stay up. If i compress it down it will stay down. It has never done this before and has always rebounded up after compression.

Everything is greased and moving properly.

Well Mine still does it and I'm pulling the skid out this summer to have the rear shocks rebuilt and go throug the skid and clip my track. Bring your sled over and beer and we can both get this fixed I hope. Mine still rides great on the trails. But I do not need a broken shock on the trail so I am going to get that area fixed Your very rear shock like mine is probably bad. Yes It should not push the sled back up. The spring should do this.

Double lchecked skid and greased all pivot points with no improvements. Sled still will not rebound in rear. I can hear fluid movement in rear shock when i lift rear end up. Sound is normal shock fluid sound when u manually activate one.

Next step i guess is pull rear shock and see how it operates on bench.

does it only do this when sled dollies? my does weird stuff like that on the dollies but, ok on the ground.

 

[rbell14]

It did it when sitting flat on the trailer and is now on dollys, I will pull it off the dollys and check it aggain while on the garage floor. I suspect there will be no change.
