So Cal Suspension Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 i got an 87 shee that's been sitting for a few years, and the front shocks are very stiff. if i stand on the front bumper an jump it'll only move a couple inches. is there anyway to fix this short of buying new shocks? Unfortunately, no. They are not rebuildable shocks. But it sounds like it may be your balljoints or a-arm pivot bushings that are seized. If the shock is moving a few inches, there is nothing stopping it from moving it's full stroke. I would pull the shocks off, jack up the front of the quad by the frame, and check for fluid movement of all of your front components. After sitting for a few years, I wouldn't be surprised if it's something else, rather than your shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldreder Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 i took the shocks off and the arms move up and down fine, so it's gotta be the shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
