    ive got a 16 TRD off road and noticed a spot of grease on my garage floor. I crawled underneath and it's coming from the left rear shock. The shock has a lot of grease/oil all over it. The right side is dry as a bone. Is this normal? The truck has 15000 miles and has never been off pavement.

    not normal...shocks have oil in them so its probably dirt on the oil that makes it look like grease...

    Even if it's normal to have grease or oil I don't think it should be leaking on my garage floor.
