General froze shock?

[dzogi]

Hmm... As said earlier, it's next to impossible to express myself in English properly, but I'll try.

As winter came, and temp dropped below zero, my front right 'shock absorber' is freezing (I suspect), to a point where it can't move a bit!

Basically, when I hit a bump with front right wheel, it looks like I'll flip over, just like it's all welded in place

With rising of temp, it all comes back to normal.

Am I right in my 'diagnosis'? Can I try anything else other than replacement?

There´s oil in the shock-absorber .
I can hardly believe that it gets that cold that it would stiffen out
Maybe the shock absorber cough some water.
I think it´s a good idea to replace the front shock absorbers.

Yeah, what he said


Replace both front ones at the same time, to keep the handling.

Yup, that's what I thought. No quick fix

Thanks, guys. Will replace 'em when I can.
