Auto leveling rear shocks:
I need to replace the rear shocks on my 99

theoreticlly, once you remove the air hose you can top off the fluids it uses and reconnect it after you fix the leak. i would check to see if it can be repaired, a little JB weld in it and having the hydro fluid replenished? sounds iffy but JB weld can withstand high pressure.

maybe its just the aircraft world that does shocks this way, I would deffinately check this before attemting it.

Unfortunately JB Weld won't withstand the high pressure hydraulics of this. A temp fix maybe....but a maybe at best (and for a very short time, might I add).

Nope.
NO ONE makes an aftermarket shock that replaces the Nivomats
Sorry, cough up the dough

Thanks for your input on the rear shocks.

Do you know of any good online stores that sell the nivomat shocks for cheaper than what the dealer charge. Is there anything else you have to replace when you do the rear shocks?

I put a link in your other post (poll thread).
You really don't need to replace anything else unless your shock mount(s) are busted.
