Re: Knee-Action Shocks- Work Best with Fluid!

Here is an old trick that may help those of you with leaky shocks. Wrap string tightly around the shaft between the shock and the lever. Really pack it in there. It will absorb the leak and act as a primitive seal.

I'm not recommending this as a permanent repair but it will stanch the oil leak to a point.

This is an old trick that might have been done on a used Packard in the 30s or 40s.
