Shock Absorber Fluid

[shew01]

It turns out all four filler plugs have stripped threads, and all four shocks were at least 1 ounce low on fluid. I suspect they were almost dry, but I don’t know their fluid capacity.

I only added one ounce to the second, third, and fourth shocks, in case they leak profusely. I’ve had the car 9 months, and they haven’t leaked in the past. But, this is the first time I’ve checked them, and if they were dry they wouldn’t leak anyway.

Does anyone have any words of wisdom?

For the moment, I’m putting everything back together, and I’ll keep an eye out for leaks.
