Default Re: Model A shocks

Mentioned above about “re-bushing” shocks…that doesn’t solve much. A shock has 13 wear surface all interdependent on each other. I am a former rebuilder and quit because about 1 in 10 had a fighting chance…..but I’d disassembled 10!
Don’t expect 60-40 action unless starting with a really good shock (near impossible).
A lot of rebuilders get better pressure by raising viscosity of fluid…all way to all STP!
Band aid that fails quickly!
Stipe or torsion shocks is about it. Stipe pretty $$$ but very nice.
Are they out of stock these days?
