Leakage is NEVER a good thing, especially when it happens due to age. Luckily, you – and your customers – can say goodbye to leaks once and for all.

How much oil is too much oil for a shock or strut to leak? There have been many technical service bulletins written on the topic to help OEMs avoid needlessly replacing units under warranty. What was their conclusion? Some oil leakage is expected. The first thing you need to realize is that no seal is perfect. The seal that keeps the oil and nitrogen inside a shock will leak tiny amounts of oil and gas from day one.

The fourth-gen Supra wasn’t designed for drag racing, albeit it’s wickedly quick with the right mods. The current Supra isn’t a quarter-mile bruiser either, but a seriously misunderstood sports car.

Recently, we were moving around a 2016 Kia Soul in the Brake & Front End Garage for a video shoot. All of a sudden, the right rear wheel locked up solid.
