Leaking shocks

BigBRoehn · 07-23-2009, 07:43 PM

I just got the cart running. It has been sitting for roughly 4-5 years. We have been running it around for 2 days now.
Both shocks now have a small puddle underneath them.
Do I need to replace both shocks?

Sounds like it

BlackHornet · 07-23-2009, 07:52 PM

ya, just replace them...its an easy job

BigBRoehn · 07-23-2009, 07:52 PM

Are they pretty easy to replace?

BlackHornet · 07-23-2009, 07:52 PM

...thats weird

Thats twilight zone S***! Look at all three time stamps, 8:52

What is involved with changing shocks?

BlackHornet · 07-23-2009, 09:06 PM

hahahaha. well, theres usually two bolts on each. so four bolts. you undo them, then pull the shock out and then replace with a new one and tighten. when you replace the shocks, go ahead and replace the bushings as well. what year is your cc?

Sounds easy enough. I have not yet determined the year. The plate is off on the front. I know by the batteries and set up it is an early 80's model CC. I recently inherited it. It was sitting in an old pole barn for quite a few years.
Know any iother way to find out the year of it?

BlackHornet · 07-23-2009, 09:25 PM

ummm the only way i know is the serial number, but there are some other smarter people on here that could prolly tell you by looking at certain parts. but thats the thing, CC hasnt really changed anything too much in forever....that being said, the replacement of your shocks are probably most likely like the newer CCs and those are super simple
