    For no apparent reason, my passenger side rear billy seems to have sprung a leak? Yesterday I noticed something dripping from right inside my rear wheel. I got worried that it was a brake line or something but appears as though it's coming from the shock. This happen to anyone else? If so, did they warranty it for you? I'll give dsm a shout tomorrow to see what they say. It only has about 10k on it.

    Seals go bad, it's normal. Sometimes they fail earlier than expected. I'd be willing to bet they would replace it for free no problems. :cool:

    Downsouth will likely take care of you.

    Shocks can fail, anytime. Maybe built incorrectly, but at least the rears are quick and easy to change!
