Shock leaking or is this normal?
One of my shocks leaves an oil ring on the shaft after a drive. The other 3 shocks show no signs of this. Check out the pic, this was after I wiped all the old off and then drove for 20 minutes. Would you consider this normal or a problem?
Thanks

i can't really see much in the pic. Generally you shouldn't be seeing oil...the o ring can look a little wet but outside of that it should be dry. If only 1 of the 4 looks different than the others I'd definitely say contact AST and see what they say. I know the seals are a often mentioned weakness of AST.
