Fox rear shock click?

Post by Sunbeam »

Hi,

Hoping somebody can tell me if the inner part of a Fox float rear shock is serviceable at home?

I fitted a new seal kit and oil in my float the other week as per it's 1000mil service (this is the second time I've serviced it) only this time it's developed a click.

I've stripped it back down and the click is coming from inside the middle bit that has the piston rod out one end and the lower mount on the other. I've never been into that section and I think it may need some lube or other??

With the stripped shock pushed against a block of wood and pushed, I can hear the click, when the shock is on the carbon bike, the large carbon tubes amplify the sound and drives me mad.

Can I buy a service kit for this part and can it be serviced at home? The Fox service centre is only a 10 minute drive from me, so I can get parts, no issue (or drop it off :cry: )

Thanks for any help.

Pretty sure you can’t. Needs to be charged with nitrogen, requires special tools and Fox won’t sell you parts. Or so I’ve heard.

Ok, thank you.
I'll give Silverfish a ring today.

P.S,
Silverfish now rung and a quote for £119 to service.
