if its not springing back up very good then its probably time for a new one. what kind of shock is it? i looked up Works suspension and to send mine back to them for rebuild it was like 140 or something but im sure everywhere is different

your shock is not done, call Hygear to rebuild it or do it yourself.

Complete seal kit is 33.95 from them, plus you'll need some oil. Give them a call and they will help you determine which weight to run.

They have a pretty trick low/high speed compression adjuster also for like 19.99 I believe, well worth the extra money in my opinion.

It's not something the average joe needs to get into. Your best bet is to send it to someone who has the equipment to do it.

Lots of places do shock rebuilds, easiest is to call your nearest aftermarket store or dealer and they will refer you to someone who does, unless they do it in house.

whatever you do, don't throw the shock away. If anything I will take it if you don't want it.
