Yesterday when I was driving i noticed a weird noise coming from my front passenger side wheel area.
I took a look and saw that my shock was leaking . I just had a eibach pro-kit installed like 2 weeks ago and
was hoping they would last longer. How bad is it to drive with a leaking strut?. Cause I dont really have the money to buy new right now.

 

It'll just be bouncey until you replace them. If they get really bad, it's probably unsafe.

 

riding on blown shocks shouldn't be unsafe unless you're driving unsafely. i'm surprised that pro-kit springs would blow your shocks, they don't even lower your car that much

 

are you sure it the shock assembly? check your cv boot/axle too for any breakage.

 

Thanks for the replies so far guys.
I looked at the cv boot and it is seperated and there is grease all over it. But when i push down on that side of the car it sounds like a clunk noise so i think that the shock may be an issue as well. Is the problem with the cv boot major?.. should I not drive until it is fixed. My car is a daily driver and is needed. How much do you think it will cost to repair?.

 

my guess is the CV boot damage. it probably sprayed grease all over the shock assembly.

not fixing the CV can lead to axle breakage. i'd fix it as soon as possible first. i highly doubt it is your shock assembly making the noises. i would replace the CV boot before anything else and go from there. if the noise and grease is still there after you replace the boot...i would then take a second look.

 

well if you shock is leaking i have one question for you did you use a wrench or a vice to hold on to the chrome smoot cylinder shaft when you were originally taking it apart cause if so that causes the shock to go out because its not smooth anymore.
