deformed shock

[94extreme]

hey, this weekend while doing some wheeling i ended up mashing one of the rear shocks a bit.. seems to work but once in a while the truck seems to come down hard.. do i need to replace it? i have no clue how they are made so that's why i am asking.. it's only the body that got crashed a bit by the tail pipe when i pretzeled it.. the shaft seems to be ok.

maybe a picture might help...? if you really did some damage then at least it's not too expensive to replace (unless you have super cool shocks )

no digi camera

 

it's kind of like a dent in the body of the shock.. (procomp 5000 or something)

Only real way to check it is take it off and compress it full stroke. If it binds or does anything wierd, it's probably bad. Also, if it is leaking, its trashed... Ok fess up mountain man, what did you do ???

i'll try to take it off in the next couple of day and look it over a bit better... thanks

 

it was mud hole from hell.. actually there were a few of those there.. (RedBird SRA (IN)) the place is pretty new and the trails are tight and pretty tough... the green ones are not so green though.. old mine land, spoil piles everywhere, trees and quite a bit of mud.. i did have fun though but i hate to damage the truck that much... almost tore off the fender flares too... and some dents
