Bob,
the lever shocks usually start leaking and when they are out of oil, they
stop working. You can refill them and they will work until they are empty
again.
Surprisingly, the one I had replaced and that stopped working soon after
does not leak! I opened it up and topped it up, but it still doesn't
work. So I guess internal components can fail too.
