I had Robert Paul rebuild four shocks for my car late last year. I finally installed the new shocks today and I am very happy. I had some repro shocks on my car. At least one was shot and it really danced when it hit a bump. After I installed the new rebuilt ones, I went on a 20 minute test drive over a variety of surfaces and boy, did it make a difference.

I read somewhere recently that Henry Ford thought the Model A did not ride well and insisted that the development team do something about it. The same piece said that the Model A was the first car with hydraulic shocks. Whatever the truth is, my car handles so much better with the rebuilt ones on it.

Lucky you got them when you did, considering the recent news.

Indeed. In the nick of time, but he had my shocks for a month or two before he got to rebuild them.
