Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: Air shocks

Charlie,

Don't do it. I got a broken shock plate out of the deal due to air shocks. Previous owner installed them. The shock plate broke on me. Replaced the air with good gas shocks.

Olly

Charlie why do you want to
put air shocks on your
car? If it is to raise the
rear because the springs
are weak or for looks it
is a bad idea either way.
The air shocks take the
load off the springs and
transfer it to the upper
and lower shock mounts
which were not made to
carry such a load. I have
seen both upper and lower
shock mounts broken and on
my friends 74 Javelin it
actually tore the upper
shock mount ot of the
unibody causeing a lot of
damage. Just my 2 cents
and years of personal
experience.
