I'm having a problem with one of my rear shocks and i haven't been able to figure it out yet. The bladder keeps getting dislodged and oil comes out the breather hole. I tried a new bladder thinking that would help because the old one was a little swelled up. It did not help.
I'm not running shock boots but neither are any of my other teknos and i am not having that problem with them or the other shocks on this buggy.
wow didnt see this a few posts up. I'll try this

The tighter you get the cap when there isn't oil between the bladder and cap, the less likely you are to have issues. If you're going to re-use bladders, the only way that generally works is the method as shown by Lutz in the Tekno shock video.
