As long as we have a thread going on about shock oil, I have a question.
When I started my TD restoration I purchased all new shocks, as the old ones
where shot. I notice that the rear shocks seem to be much "stiffer" than the
fronts. Is this normal? I feel like I'm getting a good firm ride on the
road, but there
is definitly more bounce in the front than the rear when I push down on the
bumpers.
BTW, how do you check the shock oil level? Can it be done without removing
the unit? (I assume that new shocks are shipped full of oil. Right?)
