    Shock question.

    Just did the aspire swap a week ago and rear shocks were completely dry noticed puddles under my car so I checked it out and both rear shocks are leaking. Did I blow them out?
    Forgot to mention that the ride is not affected in any way!!!!

            i bet they blew out from long term lack of use and when the struts were installed, the charge seal "o" ring that was prevoiusly fused to the cylinder wall tore and caused the leak.
