    So I purchased a set of kings brand new from a reputable shop. They stayed in the box for about 5 months as I was super busy but wanted to instal them myself so I could familiarize myself with my own suspension. Well had a big off-roading trip coming up. So I finally installed them and noticed the first day the rears were seeping but one more than the other. A buddy of mine told me they would do that for a bit. My experience has always been that if there rings of oil on the shaft they’re starting to go. At least on MX bikes. It’s been a week since instal one has basically stopped. The other is still seeping. I’m almost positive I’m looking at warranty work. Maybe i’ll Just send both.

    Forgot to mention. I called king while on my trip and they recommended checking PSI which was at 130 and not 150 like they said it should have been. They did say it will seep at first but oil is starting to collect at the bottom mount there.

    I would agree that those seals shouldn't be leaking at all, to say this is normal I don't buy it

    Working on it now....UNDER CONSTRUCTION
    Time to rebuild. I have to do my Fox shocks soon as they are approaching 80,000 miles on them. Currently researching what I need to do and the tools to get.
