| There is special air shock oil, they make different weight viscosity oil, for different stiffness shocks, Todd

| Thank's Both chuck & Todd yes the oil is very fine / thin , I 'am still tryingto find out about many C C's each shock will hold , I think it would'nt be any more then a front end ,
Chuck the stealer said they just replace shocks if they leak no matter what , That was Stubb's , As there open on Monday's now

| Could drain the one that hasn't dripped into a measuring cup, then put it back in the shock,
Drain the other one, check for cc difference and add the amount you need to even it up.
