Replaced the front shockers in my VH commy recently and noticed that it was sitting up a lot higher (round about 70mm!)
I purchased a set of MONROE T-GAS shockers from repco and told them they were for a blue 6cyl 202.
I remember when I went to fit them that the package the shocks came in had been taped up.
Took it get checked and aligned at a well known nationwide chain of suspension "specialists"
I suggested to them that perhaps repco had given me ones for a V8 instead. They said "Nah, shouldnt make any difference because the height is determined by the springs alone"
Is this the case?
Is the ride height determined by the springs, or can the pressure in the shocks be enough to make it sit higher?
They did the alignment and it was WORSE than the rough job I did. They said perhaps there is something wrong with the rack - I can't feel any play there.
I need to get this sorted asap.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Steve.

The suspension place is correct regarding ride height.
What worries me is a suspension specialist stating "perhaps there is something wrong with the rack"
They should have ascertained whether or not there was something wrong with the rack duri |

Hi Guys. I'm with Jim on this one. The suspension place, saying something vague like "perhaps there is something wrong with the rack" is a bit of a worry. I'd be getting a second opinion. On the subject of ride height, they are wrong, Stevo is corre Edited by user Tuesday, 29 July 2008 1:53:02 AM(UTC)

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |
