Leaky shocks!

[Stic-o]

So long story short, my rear shocks are leaking after the last run we did. Not sure whats going on... They are leaking from the tops at the shaft. They are covered in oil, and a puddle has started under the one side. I'll have to give poly a call monday.

only seen that happen once...

I'm betting your tires rubbing them bent the shaft and/or wore out the seals.

Yeah they are leaking from the seals, shafts look fine.

I heard a rumor now that the shocks have been out of stock from poly for ahwile now. They are to come back in stock next month.

The delay? Redesigning the seal configuration

Ok Here's the deal.. Poly says yes there is a problem, and they will switch them out. However they are out of stock till the end of next month or so...

I have two options.

1. Poly is willing to swap out my BBCS's for a set of 14" Fox 2.0 Emolsion and a few bucks.

Or..

2. I weld on some lower tabs to the axle and borrow some Rancho 9012's my dad has sitting around. I still have my original monts for the top. This would hold me over till poly is back in stock.

What do you guys think?
