Post by grainger »

hi

if the shock absorber is leaking oil - from the arm - does it mean its dead ? or can they be repaired - i have a couple of good spare ones anyway

cheers

They can be repaired but you need a giant press!

For the cost of a recon unit it is not worth going down that road.

yeah cheers cam,

i thought so - anyway it doesnt seem too difficult to get them off and change them, the front ones that is, and the owner before me had put poly bushes on not long ago so the nuts arent all rusted

i'll get on with it
