cagedbanana 0 Posted May 15, 2010 Just purchased some second hand, and I can hove the shock in and out, an it stays there if you get me, doesn't compress backunto itself, just checking that this is normal and the shocks aren't knackered Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,645 Posted May 15, 2010 depends if they are gas charged or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rippthrough 98 Posted May 15, 2010 Twin tube rears so only low pressure + small rod = shouldn't expand on there own. The only shocks that should expand on their own are high pressure gas units with large diameter rods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rippthrough 98 Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) The crappy black rear bilsteins (bne-1931) extend themselves but only have a very narrow diameter rod. Relatively large really - 14mm isn't it? Plus 250psi of gas pressure to help... Anyway, yes they're fine. Edited May 15, 2010 by Rippthrough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
