What happens if my front shocks are leaking?

I was looking over my car the other day and I think I saw leakage from my front shocks! I haven’t had this happen before, what do I do if my front shocks are leaking?

Spotting a leakage like that can save you a lot of money and stress, so good spotting!
If your front shocks are leaking, they should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
A defective shock can cause quick and costly tire wear, turning a shock replacement into a much larger repair task. Any bump can also knock the car off-balance, throwing it out of control—going over railroad tracks, potholes, or even speed bumps might easily result in a car accident.

cover any repairs
for your leaking front shocks, but there are always ways to save money when it comes to your car.
