Where can you get the ends for Fox Air Shocks 2.0. The part that is on the end of the shaft that has the spherical rod end in it? Is that a Fox only part, or do some of the POR vendors stock them?
Also, how do those ends come off?
Can you buy new shafts too? Are any special tools needed to rebuild / replace the shafts?
I had a link failure this weekend and bent one shaft and broke the bottom off the other shock. The one with the broken end is fine except for the end, the other shock has a bent shaft but appears to be fine otherwise (the bent portion did end up back inside the tube - is the whole thing toast now?)
Thanks!

Grogan and Dibble can describe it better, I was just driving.
I believe I just might have been close to fully gettin it though. :p
Pretty much ripped all the rear frame end control arm mounts to hell.

He was doing that anoying Kluve V crap and it was not working so I said "Back up 2 feet and floor it"
He backed up 2 feet and floored it and bounced right up.
Problem was when it landed and he was still on the carpet :nuke:

Under Dibbles expert guidance ( :D ) we ratcheted the link into place on the back of the cage and Dibble and Ed winched out of the washout onto level ground. There Dan hooked to Ed and drug him out to the road.
Then Ed dog-legged down the mountain in front wheel drive.

I drove it home with the rear end sitting on the muffler. :D
But yeah, the exhaust seems to be basically bulletproof.

It was so bad it we were better off limping it out than fixing it.

Yeah, Dave had to be out at your employer at 9 the next morning. No choice but to deadhead it home.
It came off the trailer ok and is torn down in the shop already. Gotta hook up with Dave at Polyperformance today to figure out the best solution on the shock issues.
Will be fixing link mounts around the edges of building Bruce's. Should have it ready to wheel again in a few days.
