tonight i noticed a fair bit of oil sprayed up on the wheel arches and on the suspension components seams to be coming from the seal next to the wheel. what could this be and what a a rough estimate on a price upon repair? any help given will be appreciated
thanks

Replace the CV shaft, around 125-150 each.

is it hard to replace your self or get a professional to do it ?

If its grease rather than oil its coming from the drive shaft boot. Check that it hasn't split, if it is it needs replacing.
How hard? REALLY hard the first time, a walk in the park 3rd or 4th time. lol Read the manual, and decide if you can DIY or PAM. (DIY = do it yourself, PAM = pay a mechanic)

Replacing just the boot = $15 if you go DIY.

It has a oily smell and feel to it when i had a look. thats how it sprayed everywhere

That spraying effect usually happens when the CV boot is split and it's spitting grease everywhere.

If you wanna DIY, buy a pry bar, you'll need it lol

*double post*

whats a ruff price for PAM?

From memory about $200-$250 depending where you go (they supply the shaft), also you will need to do wheel alignment after that.

turns out its my shocks leaking :( $1150 coils and shocks fitted but only drop it 50mm do not sound like much to me

Which ones? Apparently Boge shocks and king springs (lows I think) are the winning combo for ride comfort and handling. Together $760 new from madmagna, not sure on fitment cost, I'd be tempted to diy if you can (I can't, but I want to learn lol).

dobbinsons springs ,thats fitted

50mm is a big drop actually

What brand of springs and coils, please please dont use pedders if that is what you are thinking of.....

Replacing shocks isn't too hard. I did it for the first time with a mate who's never touched a Magna before and being cautious and going slow it took us around 4ish hours (not working solidly either...).
There DIY guides on here. However, word of warning.
You WILL need spring compressors. And if they're not used correctly you could seriously injure yourself (springs hold lots of tension..).
I'm actually going to have to take out my suspension in a month or so to replace my shocks and bump stops anyway and after doing it the first time I'm confident in my ability to do it again.

Ps - I now have kings, superlow in front and compressed lows in the back :) ride is firm, but i haven't bottomed out yet and it's not that uncomfortable..

dobbinsons make there own coils and with Monro shocks
