Both my rear shocks leaking oil.

[Billy]

Hi I've seen some oil where I park my car but just dismissed it as it was at the rear, but whilst driving today the back was loud and harsh, so I checked my rear shocks and they are both leaking!!!!!
My car is still under warranty so is this covered????

Yes your right just rung Sunwin Preston and first 12 months only

yeah pretty ccrap, i ordered another from renault for about 50 quid, easy to fit urself

Ok these are £43.51 each inc VAT or £235.00 fitted...(Reanult)
Are they easy to fit? It just looks like two bolts on each shock to me.

 

[downs523]

yeah there soo easy dont pay renault to do it

 

[Fred@BTM]

18mm bolt on the bottom of the shock and a 16/17mm nut on the top

you don't even have to jack the car up to change them

so renault want £145 labour to change them!! erm no

 

[downs523]

i jacked it up easier to access! and took off the wheel (u dont have to take the wheel off but it makes it easier) then undo both the bolts top and rear and just pull it off 15 mins it took me to do 1

Looks like I'll be doing this myself cheers for the info downs523 & FredYozzasport.
