XB8TQ shock piston...how'd mine get bent?

Must say I am disappointed with this, my front shaft has some how managed to get bent...I really can't see how this happened due to the other associated parts being fine and untouched?

The shaft doesn't look bent, but won't travel up and down easily - anyone else has a similar thing, have never jumped the buggy so not been abused.

Are the TQ's shafts the same as the stock XB8? - my LHS suggested the TQ might be titanium ones.

are you sure its the damper rod and not the piston thats tight inside the shock body?

you will have to strip the shock down and roll the damper rod on a flat piece of glass,mirror or such like to see if its bent,if not i suspect its the piston which is tight.

good luck
