Dutifully checking the fluid level in all of my shocks. The front two were fine, the left rear needed topping up. Then, horror struck! When I removed the filler bolt from the right rear, brown oil came flowing up out of the hole. I quickly put the screw back in and devised a plan. I got a 10 ft. length of plastic tubing just the right diameter to put in the filler hole, and sucked out the fluid. I don't know exactly what I was thinking, but it seemed like the right thing to do. So far, so good. Then, I tried to start injecting new shock fluid into the filler hole, but none would go in! It was like the shock was still full. What gives? Is this a sign that the shock is bad? HELP! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cryin.gif
