    Anyone have any problem with the shocks? Came out early this morning to take a spirited ride, and there was an oily substance at the right rear. Got it to the dealer, and it turned out to be the shock seal. Had to order one. Anyone with any experience as to what causes this. I have 1900 miles on the car.

    shocks are made in poland so that could be a good or bad thing.

    Hum? Interesting. I just noticed the other day just a little bit of oily substance at the left rear. I though "hum?" and didn't think much of it. Now that you mention this, it might be something. Thanks for the heads up.

    Wow... I never knew that. I'm so happy you gave this forum such valuable information. We should keep this in the archives.

    Keep up the good work!

    How about toning it down a bit?

    I thought they were still using those magneto-whatever shocks made by Delphi.
