Default Broken adjuster **** on Strange shock

Has anyone on here broke a **** of their rear Strange double adjustable shocks? It looks like it made contact with my BMR drag swaybar and broke off. Is there any way to stop this from happening again? Will I need to send the shock back to strange to get it fixed or can they send me the parts?

Did the fluid leek out? My **** on my QA1 is screwed up and is leaking. They can be rebuilt. But that sucks.

Yeah you'll have to send the shock back to get them rebuilt. Do a search for QA1 rebuild here and you'll find the addy. To keep it from happening again, contact MadMan or Thunder. They sell a lower relocation bracket that points the **** forward and puts the shock in a angle.

Good luck!

It's a Strange shock, will the bracket work with it too? It's not leaking any fluid.

If it's not leaking fluid then you won't need to get it rebuilt. Just round up another **** and get the brackets to relocate them. The brackets should work for any brand rear shock. Thunder has them on their site under Madman as the manufacturer. I'll try to get some picks of mine tomorrow so it'll make more sense as to what I'm talking about.

Yeah I just looked at the pics on Thunders site. They make two different brakes, one for Afco and one for Strange/QA1 shocks. Looks like it should fix that problem. Thanks for letting me know about them I had no clue they made something like that.
