<x-charset iso-8859-1>Advance Auto Parts has Monroe shocks for $11.99 and they keep them in stock. Lifetime replacement warranty as well, in case they ever start leaking. Plus..... no shipping charges! Who says your FLAPS doesn't have any parts for your car? =) -Justin Earl Cartersville, GA '69 Square '00 New Beetle ----- Original Message ----- From: nathan howell <orntar@worldnet.att.net> To: <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2002 10:45 PM Subject: RE: [T3] suspension I believe all shocks have been replaced at least once, none of them look stock. One of them is completely hashed and needs to be replaced. Jc whitney has some gabriel's for 8.88 a piece, of I think kyb's are not very much either. I figured if the job can be done, I will replace all four of them. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Adney [mailto:jadney@vwtype3.org] Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2002 7:14 pm To: type3@vwtype3.org Subject: Re: [T3] suspension On 16 Mar 2002, at 13:32, nathan howell wrote: > are Gabriel gas-charged shocks good ones? what kinds are people running? > is changing shocks on a '70 something that a home mechanic without air > tools can do? Shocks are certainly something that you can usually do with hand tools, although on these old cars a torch is often useful, too. I wouldn't change shocks just because they are old since the originals are of excellent quality and are often still good now. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
