Hello,
Got my parts for the suspension rebuild last night and I was anxious about seeing and playing with my new Boge air shocks. My 914 swooshed and swayed when it hit a bump or dip in the road so naturally shocks were the #1 suspect for this poor handling, I even played with the old Boge air shocks ( some previous owner apperently installed them some time in the past) and found the pistons to move in and out relatively easy. Sure seemed bad to me.... We getting back to my new shocks, heck they act the same way, no super resistance as I push the piston in or or out. Am I misinterpeting the actions of these shocks ? <_< OR are the old ones just as good or bad compaired to the new ones ? Naturally will install the new ones, but now I am getting a sinking feeling that after all this time and effort and MONEY the ride will be the same. I am replacing tie rod ends, ball joints and brake lines and calipers so at least I will feel safer driving down the street if I put everything together right. |
