22nd Series shock absorbers

Posted by Michael Evans On 2014/7/2 11:21:14

Hi

I should possibly have thought about the shock absorbers before lots of other work which we have done - however the shiny paint and chrome and nice seats to sit in seduced me away from the more mundane (but essential) bits.

After having my first drive in her after 5 years of labour and putting up with alleged "Restorers" for that time I was very disappointed at the handling and the cars inability to deal with anything but the smoothest of highways - lots of rattles and bumps etc.

I can only think that a lot of this is due to possibly shock absorbers which could be anywhere between 33 and 66 years old and possibly never even been looked at never mind serviced in any way.

Any tips or help in any way to guide me to what I should do in the way of servicing them would be much appreciated

Best regards Michael
