Hey all,
Just spent the weekend driving my new 73 down from CAMP to SF. I've noticed tht one of the rear shocks is gone and has started intorducing a pretty nasty body roll over bumps. It will not be driven until it's fixed, but I wanted to toss the symptoms your way and see if my diagnosis is correct. I can push down the left-rear quarter and it's much softer/springier than the other side. It's also riding a good 1/2"-3/4" lower. The shocks are aftermarket Koni Oranges and my inclination is to replace the one shock that's bad. Does that sound right? Are shocks something I should replace in pairs? is there anything else I should be looking for? Thanks! Aaron |
