Default Knock knock knocking

The dreaded knock, my cars sounding louder and louder knocking from rear.

Whilst my hubby had the car up on ramps he noticed a wetness which looked to be coming from rear shock...

Would it be knocking more if it has lost its fluid? Is the car still safe?

Coil overs are sooo expensive I really don't know what to do, I don't really want to replace with the same as I will only get the knock again no doubt...

Dilemma

What was there advice? I just don't know what to do for the best, seen some shocks on eBay, but I don't really know what would be suitable for my car.

Cheers

Their advice was to change them! Whiteline bits on now... was really bad when you changed gear, set off or reversed... worth a look at as they said mine was serious!

No Probs,
