Re: Modern post manufacture shock absorbers
My 28 ccpu rides better than my new car,so does my 33 and 34.
Heres what I did to fix them all, fit new shackles
take the springs out,strip them ,grind all the burs and grooves out,clean them all,assemble them,starting with the main leaf,hold it by one end in the vice,cover it with a layer of grease,and graphite powder,lay the next leaf on, do the same, until you have the spring assembled,wrap the whole spring in denso tape,make sure the denso tape is not under where the spring mounts to the frame.
this will make it smooth and last for years.
and they all have the stock original shocks fitted,.overhauled of corse
