| Fluid seepage (as shown in the shaded part of the illustration) is visible, but the fluid is dull and possibly dried by dust |
t
| The fluid seepage extends only from the top shock absorber seal (piston rod seal) down to the bottom spring plate -arrow-. |
Note Slight fluid leakage is actually beneficial, as it lubricates the piston rod oil seal and thus extends the life of the shock absorber. This applies to shock absorbers on both the front and rear axles. |
