CAT SX Shocks

[AmiSMB]

Has anyone found that the shocks are a bit leaky? After I built the front shocks with 25wt I found the spring holder covered in oil after being left overnight. After I rebuilt them with 30wt it seemed to take longer to come through before the bottom of the shaft showed signs of oil. I have taken off the rear shocks to put o-rings to avoid the shaft hitting the diff output cups and fond the read shocks are showing the same issue. Not sure if I have done anything wrong as I followed the manual. Does anyone do them differently? Should I use some shock slime to help the seal?

Haven't raced mine yet, but been sat here static for a week and not leaked a drop.

The O'rings should swell a tad and seal. It may just be newness, and mine have a little oil on the cups too - just a little.

If it persists, rebuild them with AE green slime.

Any of you guys build them with Northy's whities?

[AmiSMB]

I did look at using some whities but I think the sizes are too different to make a decent fit.

I have just gone around and slimed all of the shocks. All good to go now

Never had an issue on the Schumacher Blue ones, must admit.
