Hi was wondering if any one could help?

I brought a pair of Rockshox recon 335 U-Turn think they are about 2007/2008 last year the lockout stoped working which was not to much of an issue but now i have lost travel.

If I turn it down to 85 it as if the forks are locked out but if i adjust it till 130 i only have 45 mm of travel before locking out.

Googling it looks like i need to service the damper side , is this correct as oil has leaked from damper to lowers?

Also cant seem to find what service kit to buy as all service kits just metion model so can i use any recon damper service kit or have they changed from 2008 to now.

I have found these on Ebay

Would these do ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks so if i was to service it with new seals and Orings this would save the forks ?

And the kit i metioned is that correct ?

Thanks Loco looked at your website but was not sure on what service kit to get, I assume the internals of a recon have not change over the last 6 years .

it's just the oring on the rebound damper sealhead that the issue the one the rebound shaft runs on, probably, so you can just change that one and refill with oil, which should rectify the issue
