    Air Shocks

    Air shocks were originally designed to level the rear of a vehicle when hauling heavy weight. No one disagrees with their usage there. Using them as intended puts the same loading on the upper shock mounts as using them for jacking up rear of the car. I’m not proposing you put 150psi in them and...

    Air Shocks

    Have to disagree here, again. How is putting 40-80 psi in air shocks to level heavy weight and putting 40-80psi in them to raise the rear different? You're putting the same stress on the upper mounts in both cases.

    Air shock mounting issues!

    I've installed several sets of these, and never had to use special shock bolts. Are you putting the thick spacer washer on the top bolt first, then the shock, then the thin washer? maybe your gas tank has moved a bit?

    Have anybody used these Monroe shocks before for sagging leafs?

    How much are those? I bet you could get a pair of air shocks for less. This whole "top shock mounts blowing out" is a non-starter with me. I've had air shocks on several vehicles since the 70's, and never blew out the top shock mounts. I don't put 150 psi into them either....maybe 30. If you...

    Removing lower tube of steering column without scratching?

    I wrapped a nice soft terry-cloth towel around the column to protect from scratching. I removed the column with the firewall plate attached...leaves a bigger hole.

    Thanks guys, for the input. The pic I used is not my setup.... I stole it from someone elses thread. Just wondering if the nut is correctly oriented in the pic, or reversed.

    Whats the correct way to install the front retention nuts on the strut rods....bevel in toward the washer, or bevel out, away from the washer? Pic for illustration purposes.

    ***Lower bushing/bearing for '67 columns....***

    Thanks Russ. I'd appreciate if you'd have a look through your stuff. The lower plastic bushing looks like this....and has an inner diameter (where the stock bearing sits) of 37mm. If there was a bearing that would fit here, that would solve the problem as well.
