Hello,

I'm rebuilding shocks in my 8T 1.0 and I've got a question. Is it normal that after 3 liters of fuel (it's about 3/4 of a gallon) in my front shocks there is about 3-4mm (0.1 - 0.15 inch) shortage of oil? Is it a reason to replace all the o-rings or is it normal and i should just put some oil in?

I've got also a question about differentials.
As the season is about to end i'm rebuilding also my diffs (1st time) end i've noticed that bearings on the center diff are in bad condition. They aren't protected by any part so A LOT of dirt sticks to them (i think because of the bearing oil leakage). Is there any possibility to protect these bearings?
