Struts

Anyone experience the front struts leaking at around 75k? or even earlier?

Looks like I'll have to just upgrade.

if I'm not mistaken, they're usually good to about 65k or so. So that sounds about right.

My passenger side is done. driver side is close but not as bad. I'm at 80k km so thats about 50k miles I believe. not too good after 4 years. I decided to get the SS/TC suspension front and back from CED.

When u replace shocks u always do them in pairs. Make sure to get an alignment too.

Hmm, I guess I am lucky, 52k, lowered 2.5 all the way around for about 2 years, 4 autox's and 6 trips to Tail of the Dragon and my shocks/struts are doing fine.
