Recently decided to replace the front suspension bushes. Proceeded to tear off the front suspension finding all kinds of problems as I went along (30 year old rusted nuts and bolts being the least of them!) Got it all apart, cleaned up, painted spring pans and a-arms. New nuts and bolts all around. Bottom end of trunnion replaced. Moss 1" lower springs for front and lowering kit for rear. All replacement bushes will be polyurethane (except for lower trunion. Will be adding anti-sway bar in front which wasn't on the 76 Bs. Everything has cleaned up nice and am ready to go (will be moving the spacer as the knowledge base article descrlibes). Basically pretty much all new. While I was checking over things while disassembling, I noticed significant difference in the front shock rates. No notice of leaking anywhere so I decided to drain the shocks and replace the fluid while I'm under there. Here's where the problem comes in. When draining the shocks I got very little fluid out of the shocks (more on the side that was stiffer), not anywhere what I expected. Can anybody tell me how much fluid should be in there? And is the best way to flush them to clean them (the fluid was very dirty, as well) to fill with fluid and operate without the shock valves in? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much.
Thanks much.
