Hey guys I have my coilovers out and one of them needs a recharge, where do I go to get it recharged? What do they charge it with? I need to charge these so I can put it back on my car so I can drive it. any info would be great thanks.

 

What's a recharge and how do you know it needs it?

 

1. Get jumper cables.
2. ....
3. Profit?

Seriously, call HKS, and have your wallet ready.

 

For your guys info these HKS coilovers the struts can get recharged when they are not performing good any more so it acts like a dead strut. There is a nipple on the bottom of the strut and you can charge them back up so its like a new strut again. instead of replacing the strut is a rechargable one.

 

I think what you mean is they can be bled and gas reintroduced to them no?

 

Best bet would be to call HKS USA.

 

yeah thats my next step

 

Unless you removed the gas your self, I think you need a rebuild.

 

yeah but what kind of gas do you fill it with thats the question

 

i have these coilovers too but not yet need recharge, i would like to found out more though in case it happens

 

Shocks are charged with nitrogen and a recharge of the gas isn't a magical rebuild. The gas lives in a chamber that is seperate from the oil. If you have a valve to recharge them and oil comes out that valve you have a bad seal.

If the valve is bad it will let the gas out and the shocks will do strange things, usually at low piston speeds at first then all **** will hit the fan once there are bubbles in the oil.

A call the HKS will let you know if they are user servicable. They can tell you what to do.
