Strange thing has been happening since I put in my new suspension.... the driver side rear shock makes a low hissing noise... the same you would hear with a small tire puncture. I drive the car around, get home and park it, get out and there is slight hissing noise from the drivers side rear wheel well. It makes this sound for about 10 seconds, then stops. Ive checked, and its not the tire... the passenger side one does not do this either. When i put them in i made sure not to scratch the shaft...etc... they were put in correctly!

They are Koni Yellows with RSR Race Springs and ST sways. If it matters there are KYB boots installed as well. They are brand new.. if its not broke could it be the valving inside or something similar? The rear isnt bouncy, i doubt its blown, i guess ill have to remove it and cycle it by hand to check.

Anyone ever heard of this?
