[QUOTE="Rocsteady, post: 1479742, member: 40232"] So with the price that RockAuto offered, it seemed more sensible to replace the shocks/struts than to rebuild them. First off, what a difference in ride!!! Like night and day. I guess my original ones were shot. Anyway, this seemed like a really dumb question at first, but the more I thought about it... So there seems to be a clear film on, at least, the rear Fox shocks, over the silver, metal body of the shock. Should this be removed so you can spray the body with a rust inhibitor or something? Or does it make more sense to just leave well enough alone? For the most part it's on smooth and tight but there are a couple areas where there's air trapped underneath and it's bubbled up, for lack of a better phrase, Difficult to tell if the fronts have the same thing and would be a mess to remove now that they're installed and "inside' the front springs. I'm assuming you just leave it alone but thought I'd ask. I took a picture but after running my finger over the area, I can't even really see it in the picture [/QUOTE]
