Front shock rebuildable?

[neilsleder]

Is the the front shock in the rear skid rebuildable? I know the back one is but not sure about the front one. It's leaking oil out of it. And the sled is 2009 Summit x hill climb edition. Thanks

Nobody knows?

Yes if it's an x model they will all be rebuildable, if it's leaking oil the bearing cap needs to be replaced or rebuilt. Check shaft for any dings or pitting as this will cause seal to leak every time the imperfection passes the damaged area. New seal head and service $75 new shaft add $75. service only $30

Thanks for the info shockman. Maxwell you said know body does it locally, not even BRP dealers? And shockman can you rebuild it if I ship it to you?

 

[shockman]

I'm in Kamloops B.C., I do mostly Doo shocks cause I have all the parts for them which are not available from dealers, and will do any brand if I'm in the mood,hehehe. Guys send them from as far as Manitoba usually on the bus. Will only do them in the wintertime!! I will also buy pooched HPG's if there cheap enough for the shims inside.

Hey shockman, was wondering if you can rebuild one of those red and black kyp front shocks off of a 2011 etec x package?

No problem, what's wrong with it?? any sign of it leaking, or did you hit something and bend the shaft??

 

[Nitro800]

No i never hit anything. the shock is just leaked out. looks like its all coming out of the wiper seal. Shaft doesnt look like it marked at all. Not sure why it leaked out. Not many miles on them at all. How much? Where and when can i send it?

 

[shockman]

Will need seal head rebuilt,and fresh oil, $75. send any time to Marc Thibault, 1260B Dalhousie Dr. Kamloops B.C. V2C 6G3, 250 374-7787
$30 to service the other one if you want them to be the same.
