we have a older apex that use the 12'' front and 10'' rear Elka. The rear shock has the remote ressie bottle so it clears the frame...well we just noticed oil coming out the shock in the upper section..pretty sure the frame is rubbing against the bolt that connects to the line. Is there any simple ways to fix this...thought about grinding the frame down but ? What's the common fix for this....

Unbolt the shock and twist the top around. If thats gonna make the lines go the wrong way...just put the left shock on the right and the right on the left...

my bad...i mean its the rear shock that has that problem...not the front...my brother just checked his sons apex and its the same way...the only way I see it working is getting a longer hose and turn the shock around the other way facing down towards the motor instead of facing up

can you flip the shock up side down . i wouldnt think it would hurt eny thing . and does yor frame have a crack under the seat around the shock area .
