What year RT rear shock will fit my RS?

[aka1004]

My rear shock on my '15 RS need to be replaced and I was wondering what year RT shock would fit my RS?

I like the RS over an RT or F3, so I’m trying to hold on to it as long as possible, but it is 10 years old, although it only has 18k on it, and it's running great; but my experience with two previous RS's still haunts me. I picked this one up a year ago and this is the best RS out of the three.

I will have to get a RT or the new version of an F3 (hopefully) when this one kicks the bucket, only until then, I still want to keep it rideable, but I think it’s too late to invest too much into it, plus the Elka I tried was terrible. I bought it directly from Elka with my specs, and it was bottoming out right out of the box.

Thank you in advance.

Well, it looks like you can still buy the cartridge for that shock, you can't get the spring, if you want to go the cheap route! You can also get the bushings for the ends! I find it hard to believe that the Elka was bottoming out, did you call them out to see if they could help you out?

Elka responded by what sounded like to me, “turn the adjustment ring stupid”.
I ordered with MY spec so I don’t have have to deal with what I don’t know much about.

So it’s the strut that wears out as time goes, correct? May be I can get the strut and have a 4x4 shop install it.
