    Good Evening
    Any feedback on the robustness or otherwise of the shocks ?
    I have noticed that some 458 owners say their cars have shocks that leaked oil and had to replace in pairs.
    Wondered how the Cali/T shapes up as there seems to be some doubt as to whether the repair is covered by the Ferrari Warranty (something about generally oil leaks not covered)
    Thank you

    Leaking shocks is not an issue I can recall having seen pop up on this forum. DTC sensors, the hard top convertible, motor mounts and radio issues seem to be the biggies in addition to the usual Ferrari electrical gremlins and sticky buttons...T

    Hello
    Just 3 month ago I had to replace the rear shocks due to an oil leak of my 2010 Cali.
    So far I drove the car 40000 mls

    The T shares springs and shocks with the Lusso. On neither car leaking is an issue. That also goes for the 458, 488, and F8 shocks. Like with all cars, there will of course be someone whom will have a bad experience. But no, it is not common, not even close.

    The original Cali does not share suspension with the T. Like the 599 and Maserati GranTurismo, those were prone to leaks.
