To those who are thinking of replacing your shocks. I highly recommend
trying Udo's Billstein Conversion Kit. I have had the original shocks in
the car since I purchased it from the original owner in 1969. I top up the
shock oil every spring. There were no significant leaks.
I installed the conversion kit this summer and the difference was
unbelievable. With the original Armstrong shocks, whenever I went over a
slight bump, the BJ8 literally jumped halfway across the road. Now the car
is very solid and I am not concerned that it will jump across the road when
I drive somewhat spirited. I highly recommend the conversion and am upset
with myself for waiting so long to do it.
