Just got my VX this week (2001 Foxfire Red with 63,500k miles). Been following this thread about the shocks, trying to learn as much as I can from this great forum. I wondered about the shocks so I got under it and snapped some photos. I'm trying to figure out how to post them...as soon as I finish this post I'll try.
I don't "think" I see any evidence of leakage of any kind on the shocks. But wondered if anybody else sees any issues. We live on dirt road, ride is very rough, plus sounds like car is "shaking" apart. I know VX rides rough according to all info I've read, but I don't have anything to compare it to. That's why I'm following this thread, debating OEM vs. Bilsteins, etc... Don't even know if mine need anything. Haven't yet found anything that explains what the advantage is to having the reservoir type? I'm sure there's some benefit.
Thanks for any input!
