I know my bearings are shot in my tube the front tub got chewed up and it sounds like taking off in an airplane on a spin cycle. I have the tub apart but before i put it all back together is there a way to know if the shocks were harmed in all the vibration? or some sort of test how much play should they have? thanks for any information.
I do not know of any way to make a definitive diagnosis, but the shocks are not expensive and I would go ahead and replace them as your other repair will have been an expensive one.
