On a recent trip to ATS for a rear wheel puncture repair, I noticed whilst the car was jacked up, there seemed to be a dark coloured liquid leaking from the shock & it seemed to be fizzing on the floor.

It could have been rain water, but I did'nt think so.

I'm a tad ignorant on car mechanics, so please excuse the question, is there any liquid inside the shocks ?

And how can I tell if it's shot ?

The car's always felt somewhat nervous at the back, and doesn't seen any worse (if it's possible to feel worse)

Just to get me home, the sound of the nail going around, was driving me mad.

I've got my new Toyo's coming now
