- Bit off topic: why is it that the shocks need so much attention? Regular shocks don't need any maintenance at all. What is the list experience are these Armstrong arm shocks leaking so often as the r

- In my experience they shouldn't need frequent topping up, if they do they are leaking. Again in my experience, if they are leaking it is visible. PaulH. more 'em, and

- The Armstrong shocks don't necessarily require all that much attention. One of the four on my TD did begin to leak, but only when it reached the age of 47 years. Peter C has written that a trace of

- That second sentence is exactly what I have heard, also: once the level has been depleted due to neglect, the rate of leakage becomes greater due to seal shrinkage and/or wear. This corresponds to my
