Pro comp shocks??

I am going to assume that all the bad things heard about Procomps are the breaking of the top rings/eyelets on rear shocks. IME this has always been due to incorrect fitting of the outer washer on the shock bush.

Terrafirma do seem to be the fashionable mid-budget kit at the moment and I've not heard anything bad about the kit itself. I have also run Procomps and DeCardons shocks in comp safari applications and have had no bother with either despite common wisdom that "they are crap".

aye Andy your spot on - the main reason Pro-Comp shocks break is that the top mount is done up to tight, this puts all the strain onto the thread and it snaps. leave the nut a little loose (its a nylock so it wont come undone) and let the bushes take some of the flex and movement. ive had my Pro-Comps on for about 8 months now, they've been 'used' and they're still perfectly fine.

I thought it was the domed washer being put on backwards and not leaving the shock and rubber pivot away from upright.
