Hello!!

Its bad. I had leak shock after only 5000 miles. Got it replaced under warranty. 12000 miles i got the other one bad too. That one was not leaking but it had horrible clunk noice. I ordered 2 new BILSTEIN heavy duty front shocks from shockwearhouse.com. Great service, and Bilstein`s are great product. It feels like a totally different truck, soooo much better. I really hated the original shocks

The 2 Bilstein HD shocks costed 144$, 72$ each for 4x4 dodge ram 1500 2007.
I live in Iceland, so it should be no problem for you to get it to Sweden

are you sure the oil is coming out of the shock? and not dripping off of something else onto the shock?
