SHOCK ANALYSIS
Shock “misting”
q
or “weepage”
w
is common and should be present during normal vehicle operation. All Shock
Absorber Seals are designed to allow a thin film of oil to pass into and out of the shock. This thin film of oil lubricates
the Seal to ensure low friction and reduces the corrosion rate of the Piston Rod.
Vehicle operating conditions have a high impact on how much shock oil might be present on the seal and shock body
(i.e. road conditions and operating temperature). It is important to properly identify the difference between normal
operation (weepage or misting) and a shock that has a leak. Below are some images to help determine what is normal
and what could be identified as a bad shock.
