Hey everyone I just pulled the rear shocks off my 30 Delux Roadster and there was absolutely no oil in either. They look ok (no obvious wear). Should I replace them or get a rebuild kit from one of the Model A suppliers.? As you all know they are pricey. Also can someone tell me how to determine what period mine was built? The parts catalogs show 1928 through October 1930 and November 1930 through 1931. Also there are 3 different needle adjusters. Square, hex and pointer with numbers. This little Roadster went through a body off restoration between 2009-2015. Any and all advice is certainly appreciated
