Then determine if the Shocks you have are rebuildable. Good advice above.

I had a box of rusty bad shape shocks, wire wheeled them off so I could ID which ones were AC or CW, sent the best 8 ones to John Holland in Ohio, no known website or email: John Holland (330-483-3896), and he was able to rebuild 4 of them. Does excellent work, currently I do not know if he is still doing them, but he knows what he is doing. Years later mine have 10,000 miles on them are working like new. If you call him he will tell you how to ID aftermarket vs good, how to determine which shocks are candidates for restoration, and other details.

I also have had Holland shocks. They are very well done.
