Just clean them down with simple green when you rotate your tires or when you wash your car. Just get all the rocks and dirt out of the shaft and make sure your Dust Boot cover is not torn. If you just take care of them and not abuse them, they will last a while.

Now, we do suggest that you overhaul you suspension 1-2 times a year depending on how you drive them, we've seen people drive around for 2-3 years without any kind of overhaul/rebuild. It also depends on the roads you drive as well.

The suspension that we sell at JIC is for racing. Yes, you can drive them daily but don't expect them to last long if you don't overhaul or maintain them. But you have to pay to play, folks. There is a reason why a lot of hardcore people that race love JIC and that's because it's a truely engineered for the race enthusiasts.

and PLEASE don't ask me about what I think about TEIN... LOL.

Overhaul?

Meaning checking the pistons, and the valves and making sure that the oil level is correct. Sometimes I've seen dirt get into the seals that cause the leaks. It's just maintanance, Chris.

Hey hey! Long time.

I'm assuming you're asking about the rebuild but it will run you around $120-180 depending on the severity of the rebuild. That's PER CORNER price.

Wow, that's nuts. I don't know why anyone would put those on a daily driver unless they raced on the weekends.

^ Well, as long as you keep them in good shape, you won't have to do that for a while. All suspension you have to do that.
