Shock/Strut Oil
Not a hot rod question, just a Dad trying to help his daughter. Her 2019 Yukon was stinking to high heaven, giving her headaches so she took it back to the dealer who found that her right front strut had blown, spraying oil which was dripping on the exhaust. Replaced the strut, cleaned around the exhaust and sent it home. The stench came back, not all the time, but very strong so it went back to the dealer with the understanding she had to have a loaner and didn't want it back until it didn't stink.
They kept it 4 days, saying that they had found that the oil had not just gone down, but had sprayed up in the wheel well, soaking sound deadening material there which they replaced. That was a week ago, and it's going back to the dealer Monday for another try. The stench is not consistent, and I believe came back as our ambient got into the 70's for a couple of days this week.
Any ideas? I told her to tell the general manager "My Dad says that it's Truck Month at Ford....."Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
