Toytec/Bilstein 5100 Coilover Leak?

[erik.marr]

Doing an oil change today I noticed my passenger side coilover has a lot of oil/dirt on the housing and lower portion compared to my drivers side which is completely dry. Coilovers have 60,479 miles on them. Any thoughts on this and in your opinion would it be better to replace both rather than one side? Thank you!

I'd figure 60K miles you got your money's worth. Better to replace both at the same time. If those SPC arms have been on that whole time, I'd replace the upper ball joints, too.

Might want to check out that new grease on your driver's side inner CV boot.

Thanks Jeremy556, I'm thinking of replacing them with the Toytec BOSS coilovers. I replaced the SPCs about two months ago after replacing a ball joint about a year ago and figuring the labor of pressing in new bushings would only be a little cheaper than new. I noticed the grease on the drivers boot just after I posted the pictures so I'll check for a tear. Thanks again for the reply.
