Anyone With F55 Ride Problems?
Howdy guys,
It's been tossed around quite a bit that the F55 shocks are going to be expensive to replace. . . etc, etc.
So I figured I'd ask, anyone with the F55 if they had to replace a shock yet, or had problems with leaks?

Jim Mero, a suspension engineer at G.M. led the team that engineered both the Cadillac and Corvette magnetic ride systems. He has stated that the shock absorbers are so sturdy and simple that they should last the life of the car. Time will tell if this is true. So far it has been a non-issue on this forum (for the most part).

I've heard a few other stories of '03 (and maybe '04?) guys who had some fluid leak from their F55 shocks. Those seem to be rare cases, though.
