shock questions
why do shocks remain such a mystery? anyway, i was given a pair of V-8 shocks, the kind with the notches in front. i will put these on the rear of my pickup. i did heat and bend arms (rough but usable ones) to better enable the dogbone links to line up. these both are nice and tight, and work and adjust fine. i assume that they are supposed to offer less resistance on the up stroke than the down. these do. they have a pale green slippery liquid in them, doesn't quite look like oil. is this glycerine? if so, is it available? if not, will it satisfactorily mix with oil? lastly, years ago i read how to bench test these by putting a certain weight on end and timing how long it takes arm to get to bottom. anyone know where i saw that? thanx for any advice.
