I've searched and searched where to get my silkroad rebuilt, I made some contact and never got contacted back. Does anyone know anyone I can contact to get these fixed?

Is this fixable? The seller told me it can be fixed if it was welded.

this is how the passenger side looks like. It's not broken only the first pic. Which is the driver side.

Just to clarify, is it the piston shaft that's broken? If so, u can't weld that. Those require a tight seal when they move in & out of the damper. Replacing it with a new rod is part of the overhaul service

Have you tried www.silkroad-usa.com ? Or any of their dealers?

Technically if its the top of the shaft you can get away welding it as a temporary fix. My brother did while they sent him a replacement. But as Kpnitrl said its better to have the whole thing replace and rebuilt, looks like your coilovers are worn out already anyways.

This was a while ago, but I had silkroads in my s13. From my understanding, Silkroads-usa is just a distributor. Things may have changed since I had them but you will have to send it to japan to get them rebuilt.

I would just toss them and get a new set of coilovers. You are looking at around 100 to get them rebuilt plus shipping.
