Like I said though - if you're finding the shocks leaking there's got to be a cause and the most obvious other than damage (which I'm sure you've checked for) would be the seals not getting enough pressure - adding a 0.5mm plastic washer or similar should help matters. I don't think the plastic caps are a problem - but like I say, I've not used them myself yet. |
That doesn't take into the account that the plastic could be forced out by the pressure of the orings behind it which would allow them to leak alloy caps wouldn't.
