So three weeks ago i had a front spacer kit with realign and front replacement put on my 06 screw kind ranch 4x4. a week later i noticed something leaking in the front driver side tire/break/suspension area. Took it in and they said it was a bad strut....fixed under warranty. Saw last night that the other side is doing the same thing.

The guy at the oil change place(I know him personally) thought it was a seal in the axle the first time....anybody had this happen...at 25k miles?

 

I have seen spacer lifts cause boots to tear and the grease gets all over everything. However, you must also consider that your shocks are over extended which could bust a seal inside the shock causing it to leak.

 

okay...so what is the remedy? Seems like ford would see a ton of these given the recent fad of everyone adding spacers.

 

what kind of leveling kit is it? i can see the shock going bad if its one of the ones that use a poly spacer that goes inside the strut because they fully exend your stock shock.

 

I agree.

 

its a daystar kit. Dropped it off at ford today and the service guy said they would have it for me tomorrow afternoon.
