Not sure if this is been covered or not. I was doing a quick spray off of my truck and saw that that two front shocks seem to have oil or something around the top. The passanger side is the worse. Is that normal?

No. They need to be rebuilt. There are a few companies that handle this properly, and there is a group on the forum that does them through an exchange program. Not sure where you are located, but address this issue soon so you don't damage the internals of the shock or shafts and cause more expense. let us know if you need any help finding the threads.

Good luck!!!

Excellent news!!! Good job and hope it all works out. Those things are pricey to replace and you should be good for at least another 50k miles. That's how long I had mine before I took them off and sold them.......

Thanks! im hoping it works out and they dont change replacing them after i dont her off. i was going to ask how long they usually last 25k doent seem like alot.

I talked to my dealer and without bringing it in, just telling them that the shocks are leaking they made me an appt. on the 3rd to have them replaced under warranty.

It sounds like your dealer is taking excellent care of you, drj.raptor; be sure to come back and tell us how the appointment goes. I'll hang around here to see when you have any news.
