you're the impatient type. I have heard a few people on this list
commenting that their rebuilds aren't lasting very long so new may be the

I once asked my ace mechanic, Rob Medynski of W. Milford, NJ, about this
and he said, new, new, new. He said he had to go through about 6 rebuilt
shocks one day to get one useable one. But then again, I'm sure people
have rebuilt their shocks and it has worked. It's just that I have a lot
of confidence in Rob and it's one important (among others) opinion to
consider.
