just talked to a guy in az at raceshock, his name was lee, he told me that this shock is a divided piston shock therefore the oil and gas(nitrogen) are independent of one another for the sole reason of shearing a schrader, so he told me that if i can get a schrader valve and just have it recharged i would be fine, which is awesome if it truebriansc33 said:
Nitrogen gas is very dry by nature; try to use it as a lubricant in the bedroom one night, then get back to us....briansc33 said:
As long as the nitrogen chamber is CLEAN, it can be repaired and recharged, no problem.
That was what a guy who rides four wheelers told me a couple years ago when I had that problem and i had mine rebuilt. I figuered it made some sense because i drove on it for awhile and my shock was toast (klunking, frontend dipping like a boat) sorry about the misinformation. As far as nitrogen in the bedroom hold on,i'll be right back.rojodiablo said:Nitrogen gas is very dry by nature; try to use it as a lubricant in the bedroom one night, then get back to us....
You are right there with him on the bad info..rojodiablo said:
Ahhh much better wording to get across what I was trying to say. The blown shock I had on my Chevy last month had the piston actually hit something/ the dividing piston. It was recently rebuilt, and it surprised me, as this hadn't happened before. Dou you think someone made a mistake when rebuilding it?? I don't have any travel issues with the shock; it has room top& bottom for travel. It either went too far, or something must have been installed incorrectly....correct??? Thanks for the info!DesertTRD said:
OBVIOUSLY, you haven't seen any threads from Santa Ana, Ca.....oops. Wrong "new" Mexicans. I think it's nice to see Tacomas so well represented across the whole planet. Makes me feel like I will find some parts anywhere, and some folks who know how to fix them. Kinda like the old Chevy's of the 70-86 class.themariachi said:
