Re: Knee-Action Shocks- Work Best with Fluid!

Dan'l, Well I am glad that you discovered that those Delco shocks need fluid. The ones on mine were empty when I got my '47 about 6 years ago but they also leaked when I added fluid. I have since had them rebuilt. The rear "fifth" stabilizer shock was stuck in the extended position and the car leaned about 1" on the left side until I figured out that this shock was not working right. Now that I have all 5 new or rebuilt with new springs the car rides like a dream as a Packard should.
