If they still hold air, the bladder is intact. If you lost oil through the valve, then they might be causing the problem. There is no rebuilding of them, as they are sealed units. Set your rebound damping to 4 and see what happens

I did not know that you should NOT put 71 lbs. of air in the 2002 Drifter 1500cc air shocks.  I didn't intend to put in a lot of air, but as we all know, you fill up that small space really fast...  I imagine it might have blown out the seals and I seem to think that I bottom out a lot more than I had before...

Once I figured out that the manual (that I did not possess), says not to exceed like say 30 lbs (or whatever, I don't recall now), I reduced the regulator pressure on the air compressor and that solved the overfill problem, but it was maybe/probably too late by then...

So, my question is:

Is there a tangible way to know if I blew out the seals?

Are the stock air shocks rebuildable?

Thanks.
