    So. While peaking underneath her today, I noticed the driver's side rear shock appears to be leaking...





    Passenger side looks alright. Could the impact she took have started the leak? I never noticed it before.





    Also, while I have these pics up. Anything look bent or out of place to you guys? Everything looks tidy to me.

    Thanks for looking.

    Both shocks are done.

    One just spilled it guts is all. Replacing both would be what I would do.

    Would that make my car handle weirdly since my fronts are still OEM FE2?
    I imagine I have to get those from GM parts direct?
