What air pressure do to have in them?
WHEW! I'll confess, it's been awhile, but I beileve it's approx 40 psi or less for the street race purposes down the back alley ways mostly.
I like mine @ 85-95psi for the right stance.
That is crazy.
Mine have been on for 9yrs & 6000miles.
I've have over 30.000 on my set. It hasn't moved in sometime though.
I recently had one come off the top rear mount! I lost the bushing, lug & washer. I checked my other shock and found the lugs only hand tight. Have yours ever come loose like that?
No, not ever.
I'm concerned that the stiffness caused the lugs to vibrate loose. Also, my pass. rear shock is 1" lower than the driver side ( measured them when inflated). I tried several times deflating & inflating but to no avail. I think when I repaired the driver side bushing I re-stretched the shock and I probably have to remove the pass. side shock and do the same thing. Both are holding air fine.
Air shocks are a load leveling device really. I put mine in when I was about 26 years old. They worked well for the time w/ S.S. springs and snubber for the back alley way racing / light to light. The shocks allowed alot of travel on a otherwise stock looking ride height. Some rake was/is OK, but not really ment for stance or high pressures on a daily bassis.
I also have a line on each shock that comes to a "T". I did like one line to each shock better, but I have no issue with odd heights between them.
P.S. they are Gabriel Hi-Jackers
Are there any other makers?:toothy10:
