Recently I overhauled the rear dampers on an S2 and found the typical corroded shafts that effectively eat out the shaft seals. This was corrected by undercutting, metal spraying and re-finishing. But the seals intrigue me. Why such a thick 'primitive seal' My seal man suggested double lip seals which would fit perfectly and probably overcome the shaft corrosion problem. Any suggestions? |

I have had the rear dampers overhauled on my Cloud 1, and the seals have been replaced with a lip type of seal. One of the units is fine and no leakage, the other has leaked and I would suggest that you have the internal bushes of the dampener checked or replaced during the overhaul.
I think that this may be the cause of the leakage from my unit.
Kind Regards

Many thabks David I'll give them a try. Aty least with the front shocks it is a siimple matter to whip the seals out.
