Default Re: No Shocks??

I think you'll find the car will ride and handle nicer with decent shocks.. The front arms are different from the rear arms.. There are 2 shocks, counter/anti-clockwise rotation and clockwise rotation, such as, RR/LF and LR/RF.. Decent rebuilt shocks can be bought as well as new ones.. The new shocks from Bill Stipe are said to be of great quality but stay away from those that don't require any fluid[ they are a waste of money].. There are 2 types of shock links, tube and dog-bone.. There are 2 styles of anti-rattlers, flat and the '31 wire type. One for each brake rod.. The original grease fittings should still be able to to be used but can be changed to newer zerk fittings or change the gun end to use the original fittings..
