FirstFJ60
SGT. Lincoln Osiris
Question. I purchased a lot of stuff in 2017 for my 84 FJ60. One of which were Rear OEM shocks new in the packages. I kept them in my garage. I decided to take them out of their packages this week and noticed there is NO resistance...meaning they dont expand. There were no plastic restraints to keep them compressed. When I tried to expand them...there was resistance; however, they compressed rapidly with No resistance back to their compressed state...I mean it felt like no oil or nothing in chamber for resistance. I took pictures of shock being New in Package before taking them out...I did this hoping to post on here for " what did you do to your 60 this weekend".
I called the people on Monday and they said someone would call me back that day...did not receive a call back. I called yesterday morning and they said someone would call me back...again no return call. Im waiting back to hear back from which they said someone would call me back...but no has returned my calls. They said the owner and shop are looking into it. Im not going to call them out and give them the benefit of the doubt and I know how busy business can get. My questions are:
1) Do shocks loose their resistance and/or go bad over time....or have a shelf life. The pkg date was 2017, the year I bought them in Dec that year.
2) Since they were NIP, never dropped or mishandled and have this problem, what are your opinion as to what happened to the shocks?
3) Your thoughts on what should this place should do (if anything) since both shocks are defective apparently but bought back in 2017. Am I &@!* out of luck?
