Default FT B4 fr shocks!

Hi, had a leaking front shocker the other week, so I stripped and rebuilt it ensuring the little White washers clipped into place, the car has had 30min use and it's leaking again!
Any solutions other than new shocks!
Thanks

had the same issues with both associated cars i have owned, the solution is as stated above to get a rebuil kit and the all important green slime and hope it works!! i tried it 9 times and then gave up and sold the b4 and tc4 ft's,
you guessed it i am not a fan of associated shocks, just one mans opinion though!!

As said, Get a shock rebuild kit and some Associates green slime...

When rebuilding the shocks, put a small amount of green slime onto the plastic bag it came in, put your orange/red rubber o-rings in the slime, fold the bag and "work it round" for a bit so that the o-rings are covered with green slime...

Build shocks as per manual but take your time... Job done
