Wow the rear foam is shot. Maybe the salt from the ocean?

I order from you guys the new Shock, the original color is cream. It's crazy how it crumbles the foam.

I'm waiting for the special socket to arrive so i can replace the foam.

Yep its a cream and then with age or manufacture its yellow/orange. Thanks for the orders.

I have seen them get dirty but not crumble that fast. My guess is the sea salt spray or something they put on the road and all the heat.

Wow, that is really bad! I haven't spent any time looking up into mine, but will certainly have a chance when I install my replacement struts in the next month or so. Now I need to take a look to see if I need to order up more parts...
