Shock Valving Arrangement

Shown below is an example of how valving stacks are arranged. The following diagrams will have the compression
and rebound stacks listed as if the shock rod is in a vise and the nut end is facing upward.
Parts in box are an example of standard valving.
* Note direction of valve piston before disassembly. The side with the greater number of slots should face the
IFP (nut end of the shaft).

Changing oil on Shocks is recommended annually and should be included when performing end of season storage
preparation. This oil change is necessary to avoid any chance of corrosion which could be caused by moisture
contamination. For competition use, shocks should be disassembled, inspected and serviced more frequently.
