...than to not change the stock washers under the shock piston.
Was catching some decent air today off my home made ramp. Had a couple of hard(ish) landings on the rear wheels...and on a few landings one rear wheel touched down first thereby bearing the brunt of the initial impact.
Shortly thereafter noticed the rear end was acting a little wonky, so pulled apart the rear shocks and to no surprise I found this; one completely cracked in half and the other was cracked but hanging on the other side by a thread.
Worst part is I have had the bigger washers for a while, but had not gotten around to installing them as yet.
Should have known better based on the earlier posts I had read...live and learn I guess.
