Front Drivers Side Damping Unit

[tinners2000]

Just had my car serviced on Monday and my mechanic told me the front drivers side damping unit is showing signs of leakage. Is this bad?

Or is it a excuse to get new springs, lowered and new shocks?

Where’s the best place to price these up? cheers lads

yes, it probably wouldn't pass an MoT like that.

You should replace both front dampers to restore equilibrium.

You have the alternative to stiffer dampers & springs.

Just been on the m6 today and when I came off I noticed that my steering has suddenly got a whole lot heavy! Could this be bad news on the shock?

Need to replace on of my front tyres too since it getting a bit worn.

I might as well go for the full lowering kit (shocks and spring then) Can someone post a good buy.
