Shock Absorber Service: 

Shock absorbers are the same as every other moving part on your car, they need to be serviced regularly to keep them performing at the optimum. 

There are many moving parts in a damper that wear out such as O'rings, oil seals,  oil loses it's resistance, valving shims lose their resistance and gas pressure is lost.  Without regular servicing these problems will cause your suspension to under-perform and cost you money in the long run.  Extreme Race Suspension using our Roehrig 4K Shock Dyno can service and find damper performance problems quickly and efficiently and fix them with minimum down time.  Extreme Race Suspension prides itself on a very fast turn around time as we know how inconvenient it is not to have your suspension in your car.
