Shock absorber leaking.. Some advice please.

[nanaki]

Ok so I have just been advised by S&S while the car is in for a service, gear box repair and rear pads and disks that the rear shock absorber also has a slight leak.

Anyone mid telling me what this actually means regarding performance, safety etc? Not a good time right now for me to fork out the cash to repair it. Also would leaving it a month or two result in more repairs being needed?

I had to swap the suspension on the old scoob I had 'cos the OE stuff leaked... I hadn't really noticed it getting worse and put down the slightly iffy handling to tyres/road conditions.

By the time I had it looked at there was next to no fluid left in one and the other dodgy one was half empty too.

Would definitely recommend getting it swapped ASAP (or repaired if possible?). Maybe someone who's changing their OE stuff for something better will be able to flog/give you their old stuff?

So the message so far is sooner rather than later. i had a sinking feeling it would be one of those parts you do in pairs. any idea what this is going to cost for just standard replacements as im skint right now.

I can do 2 things for you.

1. Price good second units and fitting for you.

2. Price brand new units from Subaru and fitting for you.
