how about the swollen shock bladders? would it be advisable to replace the shock bladders every other time you replace the oil?

I notice the swollen shock bladders too. They seem to shrink back down after a while. I usually rotate them out with some others that I have and when I go back to them, they're shrunk back down. Maybe I should be rebuilding the shocks with new bladders?

Thanks for the instructions Brian, I never really asked how to properly build shocks, and I struggled like hell getting them rebound right. It never occurred to me to push the shaft in and then use suction to hold the bladder on. It's too bad you can't bleed the shocks easily if you end up with too much, or an imbalanced amount of oil.

Use tamiya bladders, no more leaky.

Tamiya bladders? Tamiya pistons? Maybe I should just switch to their shocks if they're so much better than Corally's. :-D

they aren't better just use the corally bladders and pistons for the corally shocks! The TamiyaDampers don't have the same lenght and thats i prob 4 me!

A guy had had the blue TRF shocks on his RDX at the track...looked sweet if you had blue screws on as well. He said they ran very very smooth as well.

I have Tamiya 3 hole pistons (shimed), Tamiya Black TRF bladder with the red volume compensators, and Tamiya springs (shock collars flipped) and my shocks are buttery smooth

OllieRDX

yeah i drive that to only not with the red foam that makes the damper softer without it!

CHRIS CHAVEZ

what is the red volume compensator and how does it work?

It is a little foam biscuit that sits on top of the shock bladder.

CHRIS CHAVEZ

have you guys tried o-rings over the bladders or do the foams work better on the corally shocks?
