Leak near top of Front Driver AHC Shock (1 Viewer)

Up to 03/99:
O-Ring - 96711-19009
Backup - 90562-09005

From 03/99:
O-Ring - 90301-11022
Backup - 90562-12003

You might consider getting an extra backup ring. It's a split ring made of a fiber material and has to be wound in on itself a little to get it in place, then spread out inside the cavity. It was a little awkward and I had to be careful not to tear it or deform it too much. For an extra couple dollars I would have liked to have a second chance if necessary.

Thanks for posting this reference!

I'm about to order up some parts for my actuators and wanted to clarify something on the o-ring part numbers (seeing as nothing in the catalog explains the -9903 or 9903- prefix/suffix).

Up to/From "03/99" would mean "March 1999", correct? Just wanted to make sure the 03 didn't refer to 2003 (which would make things rather confusing).

Correct, March 1999

Hey guys, I'm about to put in my new front shocks tomorrow and took the old ones off today. They came off OK - hardest part was taking the central nut off, after bending the frame a little I was able to access from above but they were on really tight.

I bought the two o-rings, but looking at the new and old shocks (that are the same) I can't see where these o-rings would actually go - I don't see any on the old shocks either.. Anyone have a photo? I will take a closer look tomorrow and take some photos to add..

The o-rings are up inside the hydraulic connector

Thanks! Any tips on how to get these out and put the new ones in? I can barely see the old ones! Was thinking of using a plastic tooth pick?
