Apple Hydraulics: reviews needed
https://www.applehydraulicsonline.com
Has anyone bought and used shocks from Apple Hydraulics? I need to rebuild/replace shocks on my '39 Coupe and this looks like a good alternative. Do they replace your shocks with identical or near identical shocks. I do like to keep the car as "original" as I can. Thanks. |

Dean, I used Apple Hydraulics about 8 years ago to rebuild all four of my '39 shocks. They rebuilt the shocks I sent them and I have been very satisfied with their work.

They rebuilt one for my '32 and I was happy with it.

I also had good work done by Apple. They rebuilt the shocks on my '41 16 years ago. Still fine,no leaks.

Andy Falandes has taken over Bill Wzoreks shock rebuilding business. I got my shocks back about 2 months ago and am pleased with the workmanship on my original shocks. Contact Andy at 413 586 5324 or [email protected]
Now if it will stop raining, I would like to put some miles on those shocks. |

Wzoreck had done NUMEROUS shocks for me and every one was perfect. If Andy was trained and learned properly from Bill, that would be my first (and only) choice for a rebuilder.

Re: Apple Hydraulics: reviews needed
Where I worked tried them for MG lever shocks. Within 6 months they all failed--- perhaps they are better now, this was over 10 years ago
Just replaced a recently rebuilt one on a Packard--- the other 3 are still good , 3000 miles, 5 years since rebuilt--- it still worked if you filled it weekly, have no proof but was told that were rebuilt by Apple There's a lot of machined surfaces to restore if you want properly working shocks--- not leaking , moving, and looking good is easier and probably closer to what many "rebuilds" end up as |

Re: Apple Hydraulics: reviews needed
Last year I used their option of buying shocks from them and then sending my old shocks for a refund. I'm happy, shocks are fine, no leaks, and I got my refund.
