Re: Rear shocks on a 1936 fordor
Make sure you have the proper 36 rear shocks before sending them out for rebuild. Over the years many things get changed.

You get stiff resistance in both directions. The resistance comes from the shock fluid being forced through an orifice as the arm moves. If you get no resistance with MMO, you will not get any with jack oil. |

Re: Rear shocks on a 1936 fordor
I reviewed the pix you attached in #1 of this thread, the shock shown in the pix is missing the adjuster that all '36 shocks had.
The rear lever shocks on my 36 are original to the car. I added the tube shocks in the mid 1950's to improve handling at highway speeds.

Re: Rear shocks on a 1936 fordor
Once I read someplace that there were adjustable and non adjustable shocks for the 36. Who knows after 85 years they could have been replaced. They are all rebuilt now I just need to pop them in.

Re: Rear shocks on a 1936 fordor
Andy learned from the guy who learned from the guy. This is the business originally owned by Louie Trinque, who rebuilt thousands of these. Bill Wzorek apprenticed under Louie when he took over the business and due to health reasons he had to sell and he trained Andy.
I'm glad to hear you were satisfied and it is testimonial to restoring good original parts to experience the original ride of these cars.
