Ctrmint Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Hi All, I don't post much at all, just tend to read the forums, and tonight spotted an alarming trend in conversations regarding shocks and the Gb270, some of the conversations going back sometime. I have a Gb270 so am wondering what I should be looking out for, are there clear symptoms when a shock fails, some people have implied leaks, 'odd handling' and knocks. To be honest I'm not very mechanical so I'm a little unsure. Is there anyone who can advise what I should look out for. My GB is only used at the weekend and has done only around 3k miles, but that doesnt seem to be much of a saving grace with the failure rate some people are seeing. Really appreciate your advise with this.
