Default Re: Speaking of shocks . .

Your best bet is to buy a set of rebuilt shocks from John Holland in Ohio. His rebuilt shocks are excellent. You will not find a better price or higher quality. Give him a call at 330-483-3896. My John Holland rebuilt shocks have been on my A for over 9 years without any issues.....

Yup, the shocks on my Fordor were doing nothing so I pulled the links to save wear on the balls.... springs are rusty and pretty much self damping so the ride is still stable even at 55+. One of these days I think I’ll put on some Armstrong shocks.
