I am working on a project, and rebuilt the shocks. All bled and filled with fluid, but I only have an air compressor, so I put some pressure in to test them, and they work, no issues, but now I need to chrage them with nitrogen. Is got a regular schrader valve, so it should be pretty straight forward. somehow I feel the $25/shock(there are 2) was a little high. any recommendations for a cheap nitrogen charge? Im in Alpharetta but work in Suwanee, so top side of the city is best.
Was hoping on a place a little closer. But that might work. My fiancee has to head over to marrietta this week. Does MM have a tank over there?
Last time I check MarMo didn't but he was planning on getting one so try ringing him first. But Traction is the only other place i know. Its not that far from Alpharetta. Head up HWY140 towards canton get to 575 and go north three exits.
Twenty five a shock is not too high, it costs money to have the equipment and deal with the do it yourself guy that couldn't do it all his self... If someone comes in my shop the price for this depends on whether I like the customer or not, I tend to charge more for customers I don't care for...
Is $25 at the local dealership? My local dealership charges me $10. Is there a small airport near by with a mechanic? Airplanes use nitrogen in their struts and sometimes tires.
$25 seems fair to me, especially if nobody else is near. The bottle and equipment ain't cheap. Plus, there could be a monthly bottle rental fee.
Do they also have pressurized systems where it is important to release the schraeder valve before releasing the pressure? Nitrogen on a tire chuck ain't gonna cut it.
