air shocks....to do or not to do
THIS is my old 70 440-6 RR which is CONSIDERABLY heavier than an A. Because it was a sixpack, it had the heaviest "trak pack" suspension Ma supplied, and a Dana 3.54. Nevertheless, sometimes I carried "stuff" in the trunk, and did some trailer towing. (Towed a 70 'Cuda on a trailer and all my possessions from San Diego to N. Idaho.
That car had over 140K on it when I sold it, and had air shocks on it for at least 100K. They usually had 40--60 psi in 'em, and were replaced once in all that time. So far as I can tell, there was NO damage to the shock mounts.
Ye...I know, terrible photo. Old slide film, about 1974
