Keith, I've been using motorcycle fork oil in my shocks for quite a =
while.  It has seal conditioners that seem to be working well to prevent =
leaks.   I've also used hydraulic jack oil before the fork oil.  I =
didn't seem to make any difference in performance between the two.

=20

Hello List,

=20

Am planning to replace both rear shocks on late BJ8.  I found a pair in =
my stash which appear to be new (or possibly rebuilt).  Eureka!!!  Both =
L and R and painted black.  Both with new shock links attached.  I have =
had them for many years and there was minor leaking of fluid.  Tightened =
the 6 screws each about 1/6 turn.

=20

Question:  I am thinking while I have them on the workbench to top off =
the fluid.  I have two products on hand.  Sta-Lube Hydraulic & Jack Oil =
with no mention of shock absorbers on the label.  Bel Ray High =
Performance Fork Oil (20W).  Again no mention of shock absorbers.  Would =
either of these be satisfactory for topping oil the shock oil level?

=20

Opinions?

Keith
