I decided to take apart my first ever fork to replace the seals. While I was taking it all apart following the Marz user manual I noticed the the "Rebound Stop Rubber " was missing.

It can be seen here:

It's part #12 on page 39.

I bought the shock used so It may have been worked on previously. Think I can run without them? Anywhere I could order them from?

I think you're referring to what is normally called the negative spring. Yes, you need that.

Call up Marzocchi; the neg. springs were all pretty much the same part on the '96-00 cartridge-damped Bomber forks (Z.1, Z.2, Mr. T, Super T.)

I agree, it looks like its purpose is to keep the hydraulic cartridge spaced properly in the leg.

Great thanks for the info!

Seems like some had springs and some had rubber stoppers....

Stosh, while you're in there, replace the bushings. My bud did his old bomber not too long ago and did his bushing. They've changed the design of them to a more swiss cheese like so there's less stiction. If you're gonna rip apart your fork, and it's a 98, it could prob use new bushings too.

Oh you mean the long plastic sleave bushings?

holy fawk the bushing kit is $56 thats over 2x what I paid for the shock.

 

[binary visions]

ok another related question. Why do you put oil in the shock for heavier riders?

There should be oil in the fork regardless - heavy rider or not.

Whoops, I edited it.


Actually after I thought about the specs on Marz website you actually put more in... thus the measurement from the top of the stancion is less. I keep thinking they are giving fluid measurments but they are giving distance measurments... duh... my bad....
