Fox shocks showed up!

[Frezski]

I’ve had mine for 4 years now, over 25k (at least a third of miles Offroad) and they’re still working great……These are the best shocks I’ve owned, and I’ve owned a lot of different brands over the years…. Even though I didn’t buy from Accutune ( got to good of deal to pass up from NR4x4), I’ll likely send them in to be rebuilt when the time comes, if I don’t do it myself…….You’re gonna love them……

I second @Roky I use to have a set of Fox 2.5 Factory Race (now performance elite.. fox changes things up a lot) and @AccuTunedJL (accutune offroad) slayed the valving. I hammered them hard for 14k miles and held up well. I actually miss them since I went to coilovers. Some day I will quit changing the weight of my vehicle have them revalve and spring my Kings or fork over the money and go back to a fox coilover set up. As much as I hate heading south to LA, I wish they didn't leave Long Beach.

@caratnic you made a fine choice and getting your money's worth on a performance shock.

I'm sorry you're dealing with dealership issues. If it's any consolation.. we also have a '22 GC 4xE that has leaked trans oil since brand new that 3 dealerships cannot seem to fix, but lately has denied anything is wrong. But I guess I'm the crazy one who refuses to accept that as satisfactory. I guess for now Ill just enjoy the new spots on the cardboard I have to put underneath it.

That's nuts, I'm surprised they didn't put that leak detection stuff in it that shows up with a special light so they can see the leak. Did you bring the cardboard in? Ha ha ha
I have a stock 4xe that i just bought and never notice the problem since i didnt test drive over 60mph, it has 21k miles, if I drive over 60mph, and hit a bump or go over a highway bridge, it goes into a violent shake and I have to slow down to 30mph to get it to stop. They say they instantly knew what it was, and say it's the FAD system in the front axle. I find that hard to beleive but it's still under warranty, so I'm stuck with what they say, other dealership is 8 weeks out, and would be out of warranty at that point.

Oh we have and mention it on every visit whether its an oil change, recall, or whatever else breaks. It has had its trans cooling line coupler at the transmission replaced 3 times, and its trans pan replaced. On it's recent visit, they said the transmission exterior is bone dry, but yet you can see the run marks and where it drips off the skids which has been requested cleaned every time so it's definitely not residual... but that is nether here or there. We are trying to get them to escalate it. On the 4xE forums there is a ton of cases on it. Apparently some have had to have the transmission replaced because of a porous case..

That's strange with your issue with the shake. What came to my mind is the death wobble people talk about here and there. I haven't heard of the FAD causing it. Usually that violent shake is caused by worn steering linkage parts, track bar, and possibly ball joints. I'm sure there are other experts that can chime in, but never have I heard about the axle disconnect causing a violent shake.
