Well after another successful day of beating the snot out of Maxx I decided to do a full tear down. The last time I did a complete tear down was a week before the east cost bash. As I was getting to my shocks I noticed that only 3 of the 8 were even close to the recommened 1/4 rebound mentioned in the instructions. Now I haven't opened them up yet to inspect them but I am guessing I just need to refill them. Correct? There is no way that I should have to rebuilt them again. Is there? I will know more tonight as I plan on tackling the shocks tonight. But first I need to stop to PepBoys to get some threadlocker for my damn steering linkage. I managed to lose two screws this weekend.
 
If you are going to refill your shocks it only costs $6.00 to get 2 bags of shock O rings. I say rebuild! (MIP Blue Ones)
 
Hehe...yeah. Loosing the screws was more of a nuisance than anything else. It was the same spot. So each time the screw backed out I couldn't turn left. hehe.
