It did this a few times and I couldn't explain why. I properly bleed it when I assembled it with no rebound whatsoever. I even managed to feel the bladder pop out of it's place when testing the shock still in my hands by pushing up and down fast. When I was slow I could go full stroke easily and when I push harder suddenly it when plop and oil was pouring on the side hole. I redid it again and so far no problem but I can figure what went wrong. Any ideas ?

Thanks
Could be the bladder is old, but also with the .3 buggies and truggies, don't push the shock shaft in all the way when installing the cap. I leave about 10mm of the shaft out on the front and about 15mm out on the rear.
