The new shocks are in and the ride is modestly improved but the cornering is vastly better, no more screaming tires- that is mostly a good thing 
Last night, I went after the TL motor, did not realize that the bolts are nutted on the end so that slowed me down a tad.
Added a couple "rounds of wedge" manually to raise the rear and she is now sitting level. Yippee!
Also ordered up new carpet from Hirsh. Ideally, the original
"pepper" style would be available but a solid color will certainly do. Photos & a review will follow.
Drive fast, Summer will soon be behind us!
