Default Re: Andre Hartford Shocks

I have fitted the Offenhauser friction shocks from Speedway Motors to the front of my Speedster, a simple bolt on job. They are very simple compared with the Andre Hartford type, but what I like is that you set the loading with a torque wrench. Although Hartfords have a dial, there appears to be no way other than trial and error to know if each shocker is applying the same load? By the way, the Offenhauser shocks make a sound like a puppy barking when they work, possibly not heard in a saloon?
At $99 a pair, they are also very reasonably priced compared with original type shocks or Andre Hartfords
