Shock Build Training for Performance Drivers

Shock tuning becomes easier to understand when you can connect internal components and adjustments with what the vehicle does on the track, road or trail.

Elite Shock Services offers hands-on training for racers, technicians and enthusiasts who want to better understand shock construction, service and performance. Instruction focuses on practical knowledge that can be applied in the shop and used to make more informed suspension decisions.

Training is shaped around the participant’s experience, equipment and goals. Contact Elite to discuss current availability and determine whether the program is a good fit.

Training topics are selected based on the participant’s background and goals. Available instruction may include:

• Shock construction and the purpose of major internal components.
• Safe disassembly and organization of components.
• Inspection for wear, damage and service needs.
• Cleaning, seal replacement and basic rebuilding procedures.
• Reassembly practices and service considerations.
• Introduction to valving and damping changes.
• Compression, rebound and adjustable shock concepts.
• Shock dyno operation and interpretation of basic test results.
• How shocks interact with springs, tires, vehicle weight and suspension geometry.
• Using driver feedback and measured information to support setup decisions.

The goal is not to overwhelm participants with theory or provide a generic classroom presentation. Training connects the component on the bench with the way a vehicle responds, helping participants understand both the procedure and the reason behind it.

Elite Shock Services combines more than four decades of shock and suspension experience with practical knowledge gained in the shop and at the track. Our training helps you understand both how to perform the work and why each step matters.
