Default Disappointed :(

Went to work on the car tonight. Simple job planned. Put the last brake calliper on the off side front of the car.

Jacked front end up to take off the front wheel and noticed oil dripping off the front lower wishbone.

On closer inspection the brand new gaz shock had pissed all its oil out the top.

I stripped down the front end and took the whole unit off the car. Then I took the spring off the damper. When I lift the damper up and down the resistance hardly changes no matter what position I set it on.

I’m hoping it’s just a manufacturing fault and the other 3 don’t do it. I only purchased them at Stoneleigh this year. They have been fitted to the car for about 2 months and never even been driven on as the car isn’t even finished.

Going to call dampertech in the morning and see what they say.

Has anyone else ever had this problem? Gaz or not?

I have lost motivation tonight, given up and come indoors
