Advanced racing suspension would be the go to people on Caerra shocks. Hopefully you have rebuildable units.They can rebuild re valve and can furnish you lots of good advice>>>>probably one of the very first and in my opinion the best in the shock business..

They do have a sticker around the top of the shock where the numbering is says rebuildable

There should be a four or five digit stamp somewhere. I had a few 3373s at one point. The third number is the stroke, and the last is the valving. If it is a split valve shock it may look like a 3373-1. Which would be 3 on compression 1 on rebound.

Corey and Chet are good. They were one of the first people in the shock business and specialized in rebuilding and customizing Carrera shocks. If they have ever worked on your shocks there should also be a serial number on it made with an engraver>>with that number they can tell you what you have. The advantage of a rebuildable shock is if you mess it up and you will instead of a new shock you send it back and get fixed only what needs to be fixed>>>>also shock technology is constantly changing instead of new shocks just send them back to Indy for the winter and get a freshen up and have them change the valving to the new hot set up.
