Default Re: what makes shocks non rebuildable?

Labor cost, machinery investment cost

To have proper poeration all the clearances need to be good ---there are so many complex machining operations involved that it is easier to start making new parts using the same machines ----I don't see how the 70$ rebuilt shock can be returned to original tolerances on all surfaces ---not even working for burger flipping wages let alone the machinery investment, about all that price can do is bush the shaft so it is tight, but most won't have the opriginal adjustable 60/40 action
