hello All

last night my Friend & I had much fun. but both my rear shocks broke. its the ends that failed (maybe because the truck came down to heavy on the bmx track :((

When I lookup the shock, I cant buy parts for the shocks, but only complete full shocks. Is it really true?, because then it will be quite expensive.

Since this is even possible, do I need thicker oil in my shocks? (runs stock)

Thanks in advance!

something is wrong with your set up. You can buy alum shock ends & Shock caps. I have a complete set, but the prob was my set up.
what rockers & what is the lengths of your push rods.

Both rockers and pushrods are stock. but I have Steel CVD and 3,8" Trencher.
is that wrong?

That happens when you land on a wheel upside down, and it pulls rear hard on the shock instead of compressing it. had it happen before.
