Leaking Front Shock Phazer FX

[jkraeger]

Has anyone else had there front shocks leak at the clicker reservoir? One of mine is leaking oil. Guess it's time for a rebuild? What needs to be replaced before I have them recharged?

Where does it leak?At the clicker itself or the knob shaft?Compression clicker I assume?

Never had the front ones leak, but I think the back ones have leaked and blown seals every year. The rear shock on mine have been rebuilt at least once each year. Usually leaking out the shaft.

rebuildable shocks should atleast have the oil changed every year or 2000-3000 miles. the oil in the shocks break down just the same as it does in ur car. and with the phazers having them revalved while some ones in there isnt a bad idea. had both my floats and rear rebuilt and revlaved. 900 miles on the sled.

I have my shocks serviced every 300 miles.

Yearly for me but I dont race.From the looks of the track shocks could have definitely benefited from much more refreshes.Oil was water contaminated and obviously thinned out.Ever watch someones suspension working through whoops at speed?Its amazing they last as long as they do.

You should see what my skid look like after three races. 70 MPH through whopped out ditches and road approaches due some damage!!

I can only picture what mine is going to look like after the races without a skid.
