Hi Rick, As far rebuilt, this is a solid source. This is a quote from a previous thread. I lifted it from a member who goes by Very Tangled. A very helpful member among many.

I have two cars with rebuilt shocks from first Bill W and second Andrew F. Hearty recommendation from me for using this vendor.
Andrew ID'd the junk I sent him, offered options and time schedules. He met all the checkpoints he said he would and returned good as new and turnkey bolt-on parts.

On contacting him, I'd lean towards the email for smooth communications from Andrew and no work-stoppages on his end... [email protected]

Andy's mentor was Bill W. a long time member who had to retire. He was was very learned and thorough. I would guess he still has his nose in the door. I'm certain he can help you.

Andy is rebuilding mine at this time, cost is $150 each , that’s assuming yours are rebuilding.

Bill W got all his knowledge from Louie Trinque. Louie did a lot of shocks and made all his own o rings and seals if I remember correctly. His nickname was "no leak Louie." We were lucky to have his knowledge handed down. Or at least enough of it.
