Air shocks are NOT repairable. Replace shocks if damaged, worn or any sign of leakage is observed. Any loss of oil requires shock replacement.

It's 5 wt oil in them and each one holds 328 cc or 11.09 ounces. I've done a few sets and had no problems with them after they were done. They are a bit of work to add oil to . They have to be compressed and the oil injected with a suringe on the extension stroke only standing upright or it bubbles back at you when you compress them again.

Biggest problem is when people store them lying down without capping the fill and the oil leaks out. The shock is still servicable after a refill with no problems.

Thanks everyone for all your help!! Glide, did you mean 11.091 ounces. That would be equivalent to 328cc's.
