I took my '14 in for an oil change and the tech found that my right front Fox shock is leaking as well as the left CV boot is cracking. Luckily, I'm still under factory warranty. Has this been an issue for many here? Seems pretty early to start worrying about such issues cropping up. Should I also be pushing the dealer to replace the left strut?

BTW: The search bar is useless on this forum.

1) There are no struts on a raptor.

2) Send your right shock out for a rebuild for about ~$150 or buy a new one for ~$450

3) No need to worry about the right one, just send it for a rebuild when it starts to leak.


Shocks should be serviced regularly, fox says 25k miles for off road service or 50k for on road. Interval really varies based on usage though.

I thought it was odd that the service writer referred to it as a strut, but I figured, who am I to question the "professional"?
