<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It sounds to me like your spring is bad. The
springs are what support the load, not the shocks. All the shocks do is dampen
the bounce when you hit something. Without shocks you would bounce down the road
like a baby carriage. Don't mess with the shock, figure out what is wrong with
the spring.</FONT></DIV>

REAR SHOCK</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>I noticed the rear shock in the engine compartment on my 93' was
fully compressed so I took it out to replace. Of course it is not made anymore
but in trying to figure it out the shock itself seems fine but is fully
compressed when on the vehicle no matter if it were new or not! It would seem
like it would not work or do anything if installed in compressed state. Does
anybody know why? What would happen if I cut the bottom clamp down a bit,
drilled a new hole, and installed a different shock than the original that was
not compressed after install?<BR clear=all>
