if you jump your quad and bottom out after a while they will break..me and my friend broke 4 in one summer and the warrenty cover it

It seems the only solution to breaking 300EX front lower shock mounts (unless you're covered under warranty), is to weld the mount eye more substantially to the shock tube. This seemed to be the answer for us. Please note it must be done very carefully lest you heat the shock to the point where the fluid blows out or the shock explodes.

I've done some pretty serious jumping with my 300ex and have bottomed out the fronts hundreds of times but they have never broke , though i have heard of this problem nuemerious times it doesn't scare me.
