Try going to the auto parts store and getting an air line kit for the
shocks. If this doesn't work, spend the money and get a "decent" set of
replacement shocks. Sometimes good doesn't mean expensive, especially if
you are tossing your money in the wind for inferior parts. I used to try
and save the extra $5-10 on a part and usually would have to spend more
later. Because you have to replace cheap parts too often because of
inferior quality and workmanship.
