Reply To: Houdaille shocks 2.0

All of the disassembly that applied to the rear shocks is the same for the Frt. shocks.

I don’t know if all Frt. shocks are in as bad of shape as mine were, but I think because of the lower position and more exposed to water they might be.

This is what I found inside. After cleaning everything the check balls were at best half rusted away and in 2 places gone completely so this is going to be about the way I replaced the check balls and seats in the bodies and just the balls in the plate since the seat is machined into the plate.
