Send them in for a rebuild. Fox says to rebuild the evol shock once every 6 months to a year.

I would try to avoid fox. But I don't know anyone els who does it. Fox servised ours and they were never helpfully and just flat out jerks.

I've called them about ? And they are always nice to me. I only paid 350 for shocks so I don't think 225 is bad bc I'm only paying 575 in all
