I have a rear elka shock, and during my teardown this week i washed everything in a big tub sink. All i had in the sink was water and a small amount of car wash soap, just to clean things up before i put it back together.
As i was drying off the shock i noticed it was leaking oil. It is coming from the rezzie, behind the adjustment knob. It feels like it is hard to turn the knob in now, but it is easy to turn out.
I called Janssen Motorsports (i know....i dont like them either, but they are local for me) and asked if it would just be a tore o-ring. The told me a part inside is probably bent. Are they pulling my leg to get me to bring it in? Nothing looks bent, and i would think the knob would move if it was bent.
I was going to just buy the complete rebuild kit and have a friend of mine rebuilt it for me. He rebuilds his own axis shocks, and just wanted to make sure that a rebuild would be basically the same from an elka to an axis.
Can a site sponsor hook me up with a full rebuild kit if its doable?
Its a dual rate, compression, rebound, and ride height adjustable. NOT an elite though. For an 07 with elka knuckle and stock link.
Also, i cant find and directions for a rebuild either, anyone know where i could find some?
Thanks in advance.
