I can highly recommend Apple Hydraulics for those on the east coast, Five Points for those on the West Coast. Top notch work from either.

Have a friend that used Apple for some British shocks and was not happy at all. This car is a driver and I want a rebuild that I will not have to do anything with for a bunch of years
Thanks again for your input and they might just fine for a Packard

I live mid continent and had 5 Points rebuild the front shocks and the rear stabilizer. Quality work.

I also used Five Points for rebuilding my front shocks. They did a get job and price was reasonable. Its the shipping costs that have skyrocketed. Mine were rebuilt in 2009 and still perform flawlessly.

Has anyone thought about adapting airplane type shocks to the front suspension of out pre-55 Packards? Seems like it would be relatively simple and easy to do. Just a thought...

Thank you for the Five Points Rebuilder information. They are local to me, and will save me time and shipping costs.
