Leaking Rear Suspension

[HotPlates]

Hi guys,

I recently bought some stock suspension to clear a defect notice and after getting them installed 2 days later the rear starts feeling very bouncy. I noticed some oil patches at the rear wheels in the garage so the rears must be leaking hydraulic oil. It would have been nice if the suspension shop told me this!

Can these be fixed?

Cheers

only way to fix is replace the shocks as the seals are gone

Ye my shocks were leaking as well. Made the car horrible to drive. I wouldnt waste my time trying to fix the standard shocks (if you even can) as they are pretty cheap to buy second hand from wreckers or often from here.

Suspension shop really should of told you. Im sure they noticed it!

replace with new items.

just clear the defect and put your other suspension back in. Unless you only changed your springs from low to standard, which would explain the leaking shocks.

Thanks for the replies guys. What I plan to do now is take the standard ride height springs and put them on the non leaking shocks and install.
