[QUOTE="BenBB, post: 1262069, member: 20185"] Any leakage like [MENTION=27473]fiscomi[/MENTION] has is the best indicator, as you're either just losing oil or blown the seal between the nitrogen charge and the oil (or most likely both). Mileage is a rough estimate at best. I'm not enamored with the rubber pellet setup Fox uses as it would be a lot easier to check nitrogen pressure with a schrader, but I'm sure some people would try to charge them with air and make matters way worse. It's also not easy to accurately gauge how they "feel" over time so going back to Fox's estimates is better than nothing, I would hazard a guess that at 90k even with minimal pounding yours are long overdue... Personally since I just rebuilt mine I'm shooting for rebuilding every year; seals and oil cost about $125 for all four now that I have all the tools (and I just rolled 159k). We'll see how that goes heh, time will tell if I can stick to it and at the same time get as much offroad use out of them as I'd like. [/QUOTE]
