While I am driving I hear a groan/moaning sound from the rear of my vehicle. I checked under the car at the rear and noticed that my right shock is leaking fluid. I hear the noise as soon as i sit in the car. Also while I did a bounce test at the rear of my car. The sound increases while i am using my brakes. I wanted to know if the leaking shock could cause this sound.

Hi RONLUV23,

Yes, it can cause it but even if it is something else, you still need to get the shocks replaced.
