Shocking Questions

[vping]

Are all lever type shocks Rebuildable? I have a few sets of TD shocks and want to know if they are rebuildable or not. If they are not I will toss them if they are, I'll either sell them as is or have them rebuilt. Can you not tell based on external appearances?

I also have a ton of Midget and B shocks so the questions can apply to them as well.

I would send them in to be checked before tossing them, were it me.....all my old Midget & MGB shocks go to rebuilders as cores!

Rather than toss them, Vince, I'd at least contact Peter and see if he wants them as cores. The more that get pitched away, the fewer there are left for rebuilders.

Indeed!

Peter takes any old ones as cores, give him a call.

Did I say toss...yep I did. I would not toss anything. I should have clarified. I rather sell but want to make sure how to describe them. I wonder if Peter take cores as a downpayment on having my shocks rebuilt? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Call him and ask, or he may show up here.

Some rebuilders will buy the "rarer" cores outright. Call around to Apple/Worldwide and see if they need anything.

Yes, they are rebuildable.

Peter requires a core for a cheeper rebuild. If you have many I bet he will work a deal.
