Yes, it was real colorful yesterday when I saw a puddle of fluid on the floor!
No, but it will be.
Just an old RR bed to test and settle it to check ride height and some around town stuff. Very disappointing. I just couldn't see spending more than needed on this.Wow! No matter what kind of wheeling you were doing, looks like something serious, the shock shouldn’t fail like that.
Likely a bad build, so I’m sure they’ll replace for free and hopefully the entire set.
Well, that confirms it for me, it’ll be Fox when i upgrade. I love ICON, but want a softer coilover for ride quality here in the city, if that ain’t nothing. A little more cush on the trials is a plus, but I like the ride when running trails.
I would have thought that these tops would be threaded instead of pressed. I've already started a claim with the supplier. I will update this post as it develops. I more than likely will have to pay for a new shock or shocks, then wait for a credit when they receive the defective part or parts. What really bites is that I've already generously paid to fix someone's blunder with this shock issue. Luckily , as far as I know, when my original reservoir fell off, it didn't go through a windshield. I must say that I think Ford is taking a gamble with this recall strategy.
Yes, I'm hoping it was an isolated incident. I will know more when they can look at it.
It's a 4 door Badlands. Clip position 5 so not even at max preload. I was told that the dust cap is pressed in but the cap below the dust cap is held in place with a snap ring. Over extension or repeated hard topping out of the shock is what you would think from the photo, but with 177 miles on the shocks, and the Bronco never leaving the ground, I think the snap ring may have not been seated correctly.
