84RB35' shock absorber replacement help
John,
I purchased the rear shocks from BB. This made a huge difference. It really calmed the rear tail from bobbing up/down, They seemed very difficult to replace without removing the rear wheels, So, I had them installed at a truck garage with a pit. Only two hours labor. The front shocks are adjustable, I have not changed this adjustment , I am happy with the ride , new steer tires helped also.

Hey John, I replaced the shocks on our 86FC last october when I
replaced tires. I used the Koni adjustable shocks on the steer and the Gabriel shocks on the drive. I am pretty sure this is the original set up from the factory. I purchased them from BB and found their price as competitive as any place. I also found a major difference in the ride as well. It is amazing what 4 grand will do for the ride!

> John makes sure you get the KONI shocks on the front. Blubird sells them , and I don not know where to get them cheaper. They are expensive but absolutley neccessary to keep control of the vechicle. Jim 82 FCRB Yorba Linda, CA > My bird needs replacement shocks badly.
