RX-8 40th Anniversary

I got the exhaust thing figured out, and now another issue that I did notice was that the passenger rear shock was leaking a bit of fluid.. not too much though, and the guy said he replaced the shocks the same week I bought the car, and so far they've been very good, and I haven't noticed anything but I now noticed how the rear passenger side shock is now leaking. The rest are in great shape, just that one.
Any suggestions on trying to get that fixed? or is it better to just buy new rear ones? I can fix leaks no problem.. I just don't know where to start.

there are terrible roads where I live and I do my best to avoid them but sometimes a sh#### city won't let you have good roads :/ so it is probably my fault that I did hit a couple of potholes.

again thanks in advance!

If the shocks are new, they must have warranty. Take the faulty one out and get it replaced.

^^ this. There is no fixing a leaking shock.

okay- well i'm going to ask the guy that sold the car to me and see if he knows if they're under warranty or not..

gonna cross my fingers thanks again!

If they aren’t, you will have to replace. KYB or Moog are really good from my experience.

i'll look into that, my only question is do i need to buy a complete set or would just buying a new pair of struts work?
and looking into that.. I think i might go with the gas-a-just from what a couple of articles are saying in terms of smoothness and more control thanks!

I run the gas-o-just’s on my 2004 auto. Excellent struts, highly recommend. You could get away just replacing both rear struts if fronts are ok.

yeah the front's are relatively new, its just the single rear strut that's bad, i might even sell the good strut I take out too... thank you btw!
