gagan et al

there seems to be oil/grease weeping where the shaft comes out of the shock body. there is also a "grease" looking substance near the bumpstop(i have apparently been hitting them),

are my rears blown? or do koni's weep?

thanks for any help....

top or bottom?

They don't leak, and yes the seal could be leaking some fluid. The only way to really know is to take it out and hold it upside down and see if fluid comes out. if it does, then they need to be replaced. (I wouldn't rebuild them, it's nearly the same price as new from shox.com)

But it could be something else. CV joint/water etc.

 

i will check it out. it is on bottom AND top, but i think the top is from me greasing the bump stops.....

i think i am going to swaP FRON AND REAR SPRINGS AS WELL. so i will wait until then...

thanks g
