Default Leaky coil over

Thought I smelled tranny fluid so I pulled the lower engine cover and noticed fluid dripping from the lower ball joint. Huh?

So discovered it’s the coil over that’s leaking.

Q: Can the be repaired? It’s the front BC racing coil over.

They came with the car but firelizard’s right;
Bcr said i just need a new dampener ($95).

Might just do the other coil over at the same time since it’s likely on its way out too.

Drove it yesterday while waiting for the replacement dampener to arrive. Man, talk about wheel hop; thought the wheel was gonna bounce off of the car after the first bump!

Wont be doing that again. She’s on bed rest til I get the replacement parts.

Received and installed the dampeners.
Not too difficult, just pay attention when disassembling and reverse when re-installing.

Of note, while I bought two i only installed one so far.As it should be, the new one is much stiffer (same max settings) when compared to the old which had a 2017 date stamp. Which make me think the dampeners slowly degrades over time and one may not notice.
