These came with a car I picked up. 1 is leaking. Is the a possibility to rebuild? I think they retail on eBay for $25 for the set of 4

Is this a clone of a more established shock absorber? I had it apart, and the O-rings didn't match any rebuild kits I currently have.
Not sure where to find a rebuild kit.
Would soaking the o-rings in brake fluid puff them up and seal?

Cheap set of digital calipers will help you check the size. Get the thickness and diameter then you'll be able to look them up on Amazon for 1/8 the price of any shock rebuild kit

Just did it with my AE 12mm v2 shocks
