    My left shock is leaking oil. Is there a shock rebuilder someone can recommend or a cross over part from another brand?

    Thanks.

    Those are Sachs shocks and I have only heard of a rebuilder in Europe, but not here in the States. Anyone else? No substitute unless you want to change out all four for something like KWs, likely around $10K just for the shocks.

    I will look in my archives as I believe that I have a name of a shop that repairs shocks

    What about used shocks?

    Call these guys. Great shop and have been pleased in every way every time I have used them. They advertise they are factory authorized ZF/Sachs sales and service but that does not always mean every product can be serviced.

    If the great lead that Brian gave does not work out, you can contact this person for specific ZF/Sachs needs

    Thanks for the input. I bought one on eBay. I had to take it to a local suspension shop to adjust the spring height to match the other side. Somewhere DeltaVee was mentioned about rebuilding 355 shock. They don't accept telephone calls and have been slow to respond to emails. Ideally I would like to have the fronts rebuilt but not for $1000 each. The used one seem to be working well.

    I like Rob at Delta Vee but it has become impossible to use them.
