I am currently rebuilding a BN1. I have removed the front shocks and want to know if there is a way to test them. They do not leak but I am wondering if I should have them rebuilt while I have everything a part. If I have them rebuilt any suggestions on who does that type of work? Thanks

Hi Dogs, welcome to the forum. There was a good discussion about checking shocks, oil for them, and who to have rebuild them, a few days ago, here’s the link: https://www.britishcarforum.com/ubbthread...amp;Search=true - Post199862

If you look at Dave Russel's response of 04/11/06 12:26 PM he gives contact info for "nosimport"

It's pretty hard to tell by feel how good the shock is. I was surprised at how much stiffer a newly rebuily shock feels in comparison to an "apparently good" shock. I would just have Peter C. at nosimport rebuild them on general principles. I think the cost is around $70 each, exchange.The result is amazing.

Just remember that any increase in shock stiffness increases the stress on the already questionable stock shock mounting arrangements.
