Shocks

Pricing on rebuilt shocks is high. I would like to see a breakdown on labor hours and parts that go into the price.

Along with labor hours and parts, be certain to add the knowledge to do the rebuilding, the cost of the tools and fixtures, etc.
Me? Around $200 each to properly rebuild a shock is well worth the cost.

Take an old shock and see how long it takes you to get it apart without the proper tools.

I've tried and had no success.

I wish there were more folks who would eventually pass along these specialty rebuild skills. For example rebuilding shocks and coils. It seems like there are only a few or sometimes one person nationwide that do these rebuilds. What if something were to happen to them? It would seem that particular service would be lost forever or until someone successfully figured out the procedure.
