Default Re: Shocks

Hi LopezCarguy.
The original type Houdaille shocks from new would have 10% in one direction (the downward stroke) and 90% the other.
I have tested NOS shocks and found them close to 5/95. Today if you can get a shock to perform at around 25/75 you are doing well. Many of the professionally restored shocks only obtain this resistance.
Best of luck.
Cheers,
Les.
