After reserecting my SV I've begun to put some miles on it. Last week I noticed there were a few drips of what looked and felt like motor oil below the drivers side front shock but I couldn't find a leak anywhere on the engine (not even the valve covers ). After driving to a car show yesterday I now noticed drips of 'motor oil' below BOTH front shocks this morning. Apparently, not surprisingly, the old and possibly original front shocks have begun to leak fluid.
Anyhoo, looks like I'll need to start contemplating replacing the front shocks. Using the Search function reveals several makes and models of shocks to choose from, but, I don't see a 'how to' on replacing them. I want direct, no mod needed, plug in replacement shocks so I'm guessing a call to SS will be on order.
Has anyone replaced their front shocks recently? How much of a hassle was it and how is it done? Thanks
