Optima re-release shocks...

[burgie]

...built the kit and it went together flawlessley BUT the shocks keep dispensing their oil every time they move!

The shocks are "sealed" by a plastic top hat style bush and two rubber O rings. Problem is, the top hat washer and/or one of the O rings moves and all the oil falls out the bottom.

Is there something I can do to prevent this? An old skool mod or something else?

Thanks

Have you got the "top hat" the right way round?
When I built mine yesterday the first time you pull the shaft down into the threaded silver part I found the 2 orange o-rings simply locked into place and sealed without a problem.

The washer is the same way round as the instructions. Mine also clicked into place, but they don't stay there. :bored:

Solved the problem I created. If all else fails, read the instructions!:thumbsup:
