I was completing the off season rebuild on our eb48.3 getting ready for this summer. The shocks are still stock (vented) and while the front 2 went together fine, I rebuilt one of the rears 3 times and each time the bladder slipped out of position and oil poured out the bleeder hole after screwing the cap down tight. What would normally be the issue there? Worn out bladder? Shock cap?
I was thinking about replacing the caps for the emulsion style TKR8702 but then I understand I also need TKR8027 as well for the additional clearance, it quickly adds up. I guess the plastic version from the SCT is also an option? Is it worth the upgrade or any suggestion on what I should try first?
Edit : Found some relative comments in the eb48.3 thread. Will try a rebuild and won't be pushing the shaft in so far. Lutz says to leave a 1/4" for front and 3/8" for rear.
