Damper Rebuilds – What’s Involved?

Wondering what goes into a professional damper rebuild? Here's a detailed breakdown of what happens when your dampers arrive at our workshop.

Whether you're racing, rallying, or off-roading - dampers take a beating. Over time, damper oil degrades, and critical components like seals, O-rings, and valve shims wear out, leading to noticeable drops in performance.

Our rebuild process restores your dampers to "as-new" condition, ensuring they deliver consistent, high-performance damping straight out of the box.

Pre-Rebuild Process

• Build Sheet Created – We document:
  
  • Compression/rebound settings
  • Ride heights
  • Spring specs
  • Damper Valving
  • Initial Dyno Test (if required) – To assess pre-rebuild performance
  • Springs Removed & Components Cleaned

Full Disassembly & Inspection

All dampers are completely disassembled, cleaned in our high-pressure wash system, and thoroughly inspected. Key components checked include:

• Compression and rebound adjusters
• Shim stacks (shim packs/valves)
• Seal block
• Piston rod assembly
