I have a rear shock and front strut both on the passenger side of my 13 gt500 that are leaking a substantial amount of fluid. I have done many hard track days and hit the rumble strips quite often, but not hard enough to mis-align the steering. I have noticed lately at high speeds the car wants to bounce and wobble. Has anyone had a confirmed shock or strut failure? If so... what style of driving was it under? I think since I'm leaking fluid and likely the gas charge also, the shock and strut is not working at 100%. Any thoughts or similar experiences? Thanks

You are correct. And skipping curbs is for race cars being raced, not a track day fun toy. Not being harsh, but remember these are nearly 4000 lb cars and not designed to curb. I don't even do it on my ex racer because I don't want to bend/damage parts.
