Re: Air Shock Asorbers

John, could you enumerate what you perceive as "all the problems"? This system sat in my garage for 20 years. When I decided to finally spend some time and money, the T/L system came to life and has functioned well in my 400 since 1992. I have replaced the upper control arm bushings and the donuts on the rear axle plus the torque arm bushings. I consider that extraordinary in the fact it required little else. Do you think the air shocks will still function after 50 years? Packard's T/L system has proven far superior to ANY other system that I know of - air shocks specifically. With all due respect, how much do you actually know about the T/L system? It sounds as though you are suggesting something to replace inflatable tires because you have seen one go flat. Admittedly my answer is not kind, but it seems that your question arises out of ignorance rather than experience.
Would you please list your experience with the T/L system?
Thank you.
