If you are not confident that shock will now last for long, maybe it´s time to rethink the route and avoid worst roads?

Great advice. Sometimes some businesses that rely on regular shipments from USA can be a good source as to "HOW TO" get goods in quickly, easily and cheaply. BIG Moto dealer may be such a business?
If lucky, you may even find a friendly who will allow you to ship your shock using their account. Worth a look.
Also, if you know (or meet) anyone in the diplomatic or military community, they've no restrictions or delays on goods shipped in. Goods do not go through normal channels. I used APO (Army Post Office) in Guatemala, El Salvador and Argentina. No delays, duty or paperwork at all.
Your embassy may be able to help or suggest something in this regard ... but mostly they only help BIG corporate interests ... not average folk.
I've also heard that Argentina is now a major problem to import anything ...
I heard it's forbidden to import "used parts" of any kind!!! Seems crazy. This info a while back now.
