REBUILD / SERVICE INTERVALS

Just like the oil in your car engine, the oil in your shock absorber breaks down over time and must be replaced. 
The service interval depends on how frequently and severely the vehicle is driven. For optimum performance 
racing applications the shocks may require rebuilding every 10-20 hours of use. In non-racing environments 
to keep your shocks performing at optimum performance we recommend at least every 100-200 hrs of use. 

WARNING: Shock rebuilds take specialist knowledge and tools. It is essential that this is performed by an 
authorized FOX technician or service center.
