Leaky '83 300TD shocks Help, Please.
Please take a look at the pictures in my album
Near as I can tell, I have the dreaded leaky rear shocks. I still have fluid in the front reservoir, at the higher end of not quite full. When I start the car, there is a steady drip of fluid coming out of where you see the obvious leak. The accumulators are bone dry in appearance. With a load in the rear of about 260 lbs (sound equipment, not me ![]() The ride has been bouncy, but this obvious leak just happened. The right is worse than the left, but not by much. Any advice? Where does the leak usually happen with these? Is it at the top and it is trickling down to the bolts that you see in the pics? Is this the likely cause of my woes, replacement of these? Does anyone have any used ones they know are good, or (ha ha) new that they are not using and are willing to part with at a reasonable price for a really nice family guy who wants to take the 300TD family truckster camping because that's what we can afford? Any help, as always is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
