    Afternoon

    Today I noticed I have a leaky shock and/or strut. I was hoping to get some direction on how to fix this. Am I able to fix this or replace? Also is this something that could be done at home. I have a lot of tools for wood working.

    Also do I need to replace in pairs? I’m located in the north part of San Diego county if anyone can do the work or has some spare parts I could use.

    Replace in pairs. If you buy an assembled strut you don’t need much. Impact driver and some wrenches/sockets.

    Do the Fox 2.0 have any warranty? I see your truck isn’t very old.

    Thank you.

    limited 1 year warranty. I’ll call the shop I had them installed at tomorrow and see what they can do if anything.

    sounds like something I can do myself then and save money on labor.

    Are they remote reservoir shocks? If so, we can help with a rebuild (also located in San Diego). If its a non-reservoir (IFP Shock), you may need to send that into Fox. Warranty would cover manufacture defects. This shock definitely needs to be rebuilt or replaced.
