I noticed a few weeks ago that my left rear shock had been leaking....so I replaced both back shocks... now the left on is leaking again... this is not a jeep that goes off road into trails.... but it does get used on the job sites .

I was thinking bushings but havent checked it out yet

Also left front tire wearing seriously on outside edge.. It appears to be leaning at the top.. I did check it for loose parts but didnt find any... my guess is alignment...


Any help is appreciated and Thanks

may i ask what shocks you had and which you upgraded to?

i had put monroe gasmatics on it ... and replaced with the same ....

i did look around under the jeep last night but didnt find anything unusual

The reason shocks have rubber boots or metal shields on them is to protect the oil seal around the piston shaft. Believe it or not, an insect wing can get stuck on the shaft, cut the oil seal, and cause a leak.
More likely though, is if you have a lift, you may be overextending your non-high end shocks and blowing the seal, or bending the shaft when you flex.

its just a stock jeep.... it does feel like the rear may be wrapping up when i get on it hard.....
