looks like the air shock on my 96 1500 has failed and leaked out all the oil. air part still works. are these rebuildable? should i just replace it with a new one or a used one or rebuild my old one. thanks johnny

hello jobob, welcome to GWOF. i just upgraded to progressive rear shocks on my '93 wing because the left shock went bad and now i have a much firmer ride. my air shock is sitting in the garage for someone that wants or needs it

Welcome to the site. I'd send detdr a PM and see if the shock will work out for you both.

 

[detdrbuzzard]

[detdrbuzzard]

air shocks

I have a question about air shocks.How often do they need air added. My 95 gets low in about 4-5 days. Is this normal? My 78 wing is about the same.

seems like you might have a slow leak mike

Do you know it is the shock itself that is leaking air or could it be a fitting or line ?

I took a peek at the right shock and the boot is torn and it's leaking oil.Figure I should replace it anyway

i replaced mine with the progressive shocks from wing stuff because ther is no replacement for the conventional shock on the left side
