Blown Strut...

I was installing my some aftermarket rotors on my max, an noticed that one of my struts was leaking some oil. Does this mean I need to replace my stock struts? I have had this set up for over a year now, and just barely noticed this leaking on one of the front struts. The rest seem fine.

Here is a pic:

if its leaking oil, it most likley will be blown. I had that problem with my rear struts, my fronts are fine. I replaced them all with KYBs, so I still have the 2 fronts. If you need that strut, I have my Stock Front one with 60K on it. Ill sell it for 60 bux if your intrested
let me know at BigSexyBizzy@nji.com

Thanx man

If it's bleeding oil, it's dying/dead. The seal has been compromised.

Bite the bullet as soon as you can & buy replacements before your ride gets too out of shape.
