Happy Holidays to all,
I suspect that the front shocks on my 69, 912 are the wrong ones, but not being a suspenion expert I need to know how would one identify them. I'm aware of the color issue, or is it even possible for the wrong shock/strut to be installed?
My problem seems to be the travel of the shock, to me it seems to bottom out way to soon. I pulled the front wheels and both react the same, I move them up and down and get a bottom out clunk noise. When driving any bump in the road transfers that feeling / noise. It just doesn't feel right. When I bought the car a year and a half ago the PO told me he had the shocks changed shortly before he stored the car. I have found that the PO got taken pretty good from less than honorable mechanics on several occasions, so this has given me pause.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Chas.
