Which shocks do you have?

they are the ones from factory team. they are the front pair.
i was also looking at them at it seem the piston rods are to long and i have to tighen the adujster all the wy down for them to work right. can i shorten the rods at all?
thanks mark.t

It could be the o-ring, that is usually the culprit. You should replace the o-rings. I can post the link to better rings if you are interested.

i didnt see any o rings all i saw was the bladder. it is only leaking from the top.
but could you still post them orings

Replace the top shock shaft with this O-Ring from Mcmaster.com, part# 9452K11
