Default Leaking shock!

My 95 has adjustable suspension and the passenger side front shock had been seeping oil. The oil caused the upper shock mounting grommet to detiorate. Over this winter a puddle of oil has formed under the shock. Where is the best place to get a replacement shock and grommet? Thanks alot. Ben.

Ugh, that sucks.

Do a search for Vansteel. He has some GREAT deals going for replacement Bilstein's - If you can't find him, I'll try to find his email address.

If you have the Bilsteins, you can remove the shock and send it to them to rebuild. Think they charge about $75 - 80 per for the rebuild...

If you're looking to replace, look through the archives here on the Forum - VanSteel was running a special recently. Give Dan a call and he'll help you out.
