Gaz Rear Shocks

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.
