Review on πŸ”§ RS9000XL RS999312 Shock Absorber by Rancho by Aaron Jones

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Shock absorbers need constant adjustment, one of them is broken

Pathfinder 05 shock absorbers used for almost a year. The dial on the shocks kept dropping on country roads, going from a decent ride to too soft in the odd corner. Average speed. It wasn't a hard hit, it was a traffic calming device rated for speeds in excess of 20mph. I ran it at just under 25mph and the reservoir failed where the piston enters. The lip around the plunger failed and the plunger kicked out about 60 degrees, but sticks when fully extended. The tank was supported by a lower arm after it broke, which held the entire assembly together long enough to make it home.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • unreliable
