I have had a leaking rear shocker from about 10 month, the back end is a bit sloppy at times but hasn't damaged anything else

My shocker has leaked aswell, dont htink it damages anything but it may put a bit too much strain on the spring, oh yeah, the back end of my car kicks out really easy now aswell :S

makes for interesting handling, i've gone through loads of em all rears.

makes the car a bit twitchier than usual, all controllable though.

Its simply more bouncy than normal, won't damage anything

They're not that expensive to order AFAIK.

Fronts and rears are all about £50 each.

I'd get it done if you want to keep away from bushes and road-furniture (if you're going to push it).

OH, I think that's an MOT fail too? Anyone know for sure?
