Title: Front Shock repair
Post by: AvengerSL on January 24, 2019, 11:45:46 PM
Hi all,
Just curious to know whether OEM front shock can be repaired with filling new oil. I just saw the repairing note in avenger workshop manual. Appreciate any one can advice me on that. Thanks

Here's what I have in my 'manual'

From this I understand new oil only will not solve your issue, replacement cartridge is required (or complete new unit

Also didn't realise different spring rates from Drivers : Passenger side but makes sense when you think about it!

Never paid attention to these things before
