When I restored my '39 Fordor ten years ago, I replaced the rusty old Houdaille shocks with four used ones that I found at a swap meet. I have been hearing one of those shocks make loud noise on bumpy roads. I did keep my four old shocks on the shelf, and I could use them as cores for an exchange or purchase of rebuilt shocks.

I am shocked by the price I saw for rebuit Houdaille shocks: $195 each, if I provide my core.

Suggstion? Anyone out there who offers a good rebuilt shock for less money?
