Do good shocks have any oil below the top half?

처리 내용

A shock absorber is supposed to be dry on the outside, leaking fluid (I suppose you mean that by grease?) is a sign of damage. The more hydraulic fluid a shock absorber looses the worse is it's capacity to dampen impulses. I cannot indicate by what amount of leaking fluid a shock absorber is considered to be exhausted. Since the shock absorber is a highly important part of the suspension my personal strategy is it to replace them immediately if I see fluid leaking. When replacing them replace always both shocks on an axle.
