Icon failure

No. If the shaft literally pulled out staking wouldn't do shit. Staking is when you use a metal punch on the rim to create a little metal obstruction to keep something from unscrewing. What they need is to create a pin that goes through the male and female connections to keep things from pulling and twisting.

ICON should take a look at the lot numbers and try to figure out if they sent out a bad batch of shocks.

Sorry got my terminology mixed up. Range is explaining what I'm thinking of. Drill a hole through the two pieces and insert a pin, the torsion of the threads keeps the pin in place.

I love the fact that I just spoke correct terminology not because I know anything about fixing cars but because I know how to work on guns.

It's a daily driver but it sees lots of trails.

Update

Icon sent a new threaded end to go on to the shock shaft and for now everything is good. In the future I will be going to the 2.5 Icon rear long travel shock with remote reservoir because it has a spherical bearing on the shock end to deal with shock shaft deflection as opposed to just a hard urethane bushing.
