Shock Rebuilds & Tuning

Precision shock service tailored to your specific application.

Why it matters

Most manufacturers recommend rebuilding shocks every 40-60k miles even if they are not leaking. Lack of service will lead to poor performance and ultimately, internal damage to the shocks. Periodically servicing your shocks will make them last a lifetime and keep your truck/suv riding smooth.

At Kaizen every rebuild includes:

  • Personalized Set Up
  • Custom Tuning
  • Fast and Reliable Turnaround

Shock Services

Rebuild

Most manufacturers recommend rebuilding shocks every 40-60k miles even if they are not leaking. Lack of service will lead to poor performance and ultimately, internal damage to the shocks. Periodically servicing your shocks will make them last a lifetime and keep your truck/suv riding smooth.  Revalves are included free of charge with any rebuild.

REVALVE & TUNING

Every vehicle and driver is different, and off-the-shelf shock valving isn’t always optimized for your specific setup. Revalving allows us to fine-tune compression and rebound damping based on vehicle weight, suspension configuration, terrain, and driving style. The result is improved ride quality, control, and overall suspension performance.

Custom Options

Looking for something beyond a standard rebuild or revalve? We offer a wide range of custom shock options including complete custom shock builds, specialty coatings and finishes, upgraded reservoir configurations, long-fin reservoir cans, and other performance modifications. Contact us to discuss your application and we can build a solution around your specific needs.

rebuild Process

01

DISASSEMBLY & CLEANING

We first clean and inspect every set of shocks when received. Checking nitrogen pressure, signs of leaking, nitrogen mixed in oil, etc. All of these tell a story which helps us identify any internal failures inside the shock and prevent future failures. Once disassembled the piston and shims are cleaned individually. All o-ring mating surfaces are cleaned and inspected. Shafts are micro polished and cylinders honed if necessary.

02

ASSEMBLY & BLEEDING

The manufacturer's shock oil is used unless specified by the customer. The cleaned shock components and fresh seals are carefully reassembled in a clean environment using a thorough bleeding procedure to ensure a hydraulic system which will function properly and last.

03

FINAL CLEANING & CHECK

Once shocks are completed they go through a final cleaning to remove oil residue and give them a fresh new look. Ball joints are lubricated with dry lube and shocks are pressure tested to check for leaks and proper operation.
