Cooling Fan Bad?

Let me guess, you have no shield for the piston shaft?

Correct, no boots. I have beat the snot out of a lot of bootless shocks over the years off roading at highway speeds. I know dirt/rocks are not shock pistons best friend but 10k miles for an “off-road” “high performance” shock? (Baseline high performance but that is what they advertise). Both shocks? Traveling down the highway? Maybe someone at the factory used a hardware store gauge like I used for my a/c to set the pressure- don’t trust the green level on the gauge, Fox people!

Same happens to my Kings on the right side, one vacation in Iceland destroyed the piston.
Just driving gravel roads will kill them.

I added a homemade shield after wards.
I don't like boots either, they collect dirt Inside.
