About S/L shocks
« on: 18 August 2011, 09:58:17 »
After succesfully repaired compressor I found an air leak today.  It's on lowest part of sealant rubber on right shock. If I press on rubber gently where I hear air coming out, it stops. I don't need to apply full presure on it, just pressing a bit is enough. Can I seal it with some silicon or sikaflex or do I need new shocks?

I would say that you really need new shocks but you could certainly give it a go :y

Not up to me to grant permission ;) ;)

The way I see it you have nothing to lose... You need new shocks anyway so why not have a go and see if it will work as a temporary fix :y

Be careful that whatever you use isn't aggressive towards the rubber though ;)

Have a search... I'm sure it's been posted before :-/

In UK it's about £150 for the pair (plus VAT) on Trade Club

I successfully did a similar 'temporary fix' with Vaseline, before replacing 'em with Monroe Ride Levellers.

Inflate your shockers to their maximum travel, then plaster the body and rubber bellow with the Vaseline before deflating 'em to 'normal' height.

Got me 'out of the cack' for a few months! :y :y :y

The self levelling shockers are only available from GM. Not available from other companies. Estate are different from saloon.
