Re: Frozen Shocks
Shocks that are frozen up are usually the only ones that can be rebuilt. The shocks that are loose are usually not rebuildable and the shaft will be obviously loose and off center. Soaking rusty shocks does NO good, I've tried it for over three months at a time with no luck. Heating the shocks and quinching them in cold water will usually work. Many use this method with frozen up Zenith carbs and it works good I've done it many times but I use my acetelene torch. Even the loose off center shocks will have some usable parts and in some cases are worth taking apart. There are right and left shocks and it is best to have several to start with and maybe there will be enough usable parts to make a set of usable shocks.
