Oil in Shocks

[Tracy Bowman]

I suppose I’m the only one on here who was unaware that there is oil in shocks? Who knew?? Took ‘Ol Butterscotch to have the oil changed and found out my front shocks are leaking oil.?‍ Thankfully, still under warranty. Should be in the first part of the week. Hopefully.

Glad they caught it now while it's under warranty. Did you have them check the blinker fluid? ?

Don't confuse the poor girl, it's synthetic so it's universal. ?

I only use free range synthetic and she knows more about the ranger then I could ever learn

Glad they caught it Tracy. When I switched out for Bilstein 5100s my fx4 front shocks where both leaking. The rears are dry

Well, tell them to put the oil back in the dang things.

FWIW, many years ago I had replaced the struts in my car with lifetime gaurantee ones. A few years latter the car was starting to wollow in turns so I went back to collect on the gaurantee and the service manager came out, bounced the car and proclaimed they were fine. He would not honer the gaurentee because they were not leaking. I went home and stuck a needle down along the shaft and pierced the seal. Took the car for a ride so it pumped oil all over the strut and went back and got my new struts.
