RockShox Deluxe/Super Deluxe Damper Body

You typically need a replacement if you notice scoring or scratches on the inner wall of the damper body, which can cause oil leaks and inconsistent damping. If your shock is losing rebound control or feels 'dead' even after a full seal service, the damper body surface may be worn beyond repair.

This specific part is designed for models using the standard eyelet configuration and measures 72.5mm in length. Because RockShox produces various stroke lengths and mounting styles, you must verify your specific shock's service manual or part number to ensure this exact length matches your current setup.

Replacing a damper body requires specialized tools, including a shock vice and internal seal tools, as well as the ability to bleed the damper system properly. If you are not experienced with suspension internals or lack a vacuum bleed machine, it is highly recommended to have a professional suspension technician perform the installation.

This listing is for the damper body only. You will need to purchase the corresponding service kit for your specific shock model to ensure you have all the fresh seals, O-rings, and damper fluid required for a complete and reliable rebuild.
