Shocks
Should the rear axle be on stands to check fluid level on lever shocks ?

Re: Shocks
Like the transmission and differential, the shocks are to be filled only to the level of the inspection hole on the side. This procedure requires the car to be sitting level.

Re: Shocks
While I got your attention, do I fill the shocks to the top or leave some room at the top ?

Re: Shocks
In my '39 pickup, I drained the shocks by their removal, flushed them and refilled with hydraulic oil (I believe.) I marked the mid line of the adj with yellow paint and set them in that position (They were all over the marking scale.
