Looking to verify just exactly what is on these beasts. What I have seen is that the front track shock has a DSC looking compression adjust that is really only single. See picture below The res mounts on top so it's easy to see. The style of this setup looks
very similar to a DSC valve, but it has been verified that the outer black hex is indeed a fixed nut.
.
The rear track shock has a plastic knob single adjust for compression. I did not get a picture, but I verified for myself. The shock mounts inverted so the knob is down low. I completely spaced looking at the other end assuming it was adjustable.
What I'm looking to verify is if there is indeed a rebound adjustment on these shocks and whether it is a knob or a screw?
Also are there spherical bearings or typical bushings in the eyes?

there is a rebound adjuster on the top of the shock,it looks like a bolt head,10mm with a slot cut in it for a screw driver
Same at the bottom of the front track shock?

No rebound adjustment on the front track shock
Just for informational purposes here is a pic of the rebound adjuster at the rod end of the rear skid shock.
And let's hope that the plastic adjuster knobs hold up better than this one:
Hopefully aftermarket will make some tougher knobs. Did the guy say if he knew how it happened?
One thought was over tightened, but I'm guessing impact of some sort possibly even pre assembly.
Is that your sled TD? That sucks. I have all kinds of FOX stuff here some with nice knurled aluminum knobs. If you can get a nice pic of one with knob off maybe I could tell if one of those aluminum ones would fit.
No the pic was sent to me. Mine's still waiting. Been 2 weeks since I sent my letter. I think if I was going to get the brush off it would have happened by now.
