Set of 4 rebuilt shocks
Just returned from Robert Paul, rebuilt and ready to install. Shock bodies only. I got impatient and bought a set of Stipe shocks, so these are not needed.

Re: Rear brake assembly

I had mine on jack stands when I did mine. The trick for me was to not tighten the shocks all the way until the links were attached. More info:...

With the Station Wagon tail pipe the exhaust exits right next to the pumpkin.

New Aries Muffler
Just installed a new Aries muffler and Station Wagon tail pipe extension on the woody this evening. It took about an hour to install once we got everything laid out.
Looks and sounds great!

Re: Taking a break for some brakes.
That's a major bummer, Art. I got mine from Snyder's and did not see any obvious issues with them.
I ended up reusing my clevis and just replaced the pins. The replacement clevis would not thread...

Re: Taking a break for some brakes.
I used a 1/2" air impact wrench to remove mine. Do you have the rear of the radius rods loose? Maybe one is binding. I wired mine to the running board bracket.

Re: Play in Steering Gear
Two words... finger tight. I've got everything snugged back up with new cotter keys. Easy fix, but still frustrating.

Ok, here is a longer clip. Pretty sure the mounting bolts aren't snugged down as much as they should.
