Worn seals can lead to leakage, affecting damping performance and this can cause long-term damage.

What are the signs that my suspension needs servicing?

The best way to know when your suspension needs servicing is by following guidelines supplied the by the fork and/or shock manufacturer. Typical guidelines are to have a full service performed yearly.
