if the shaft is bent and its leaking ,i,d say it new shock time i took my baja out for the 1st time when i got it new bent a shock in half and chewed a spur gear up, its sucks but 5th scales can be heavy on wear and tear parts due to there weight and power,

You can straighten a bent shock shaft with a soft faced hammer.....plastic or copper one...

Just need a bit of persistance and a nice flat board...

Here's one I bent the last time I went bashing at SPERERA's place........ugly landing off a mighty high jump...

This is a front one.....the original one that came on the car when new...
I got the car in Nov 08......I've glued the ball ends on more times than I can remember......but I don't like buying stuff if I don't have to....

And you will probably have to replace the o-rings......standard is 2....I use 3.....
