paul w Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 A suitable fluid for shock absorbers, usually a type of oil i think. Ask a place that rebuilds shocks.I really think you are wasting your time unless you are very handy with machining your own parts, seals and have a suitably clean area to assemble them. One lil bit of grit in there and your fucked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza_Ragger Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Er...1 word really sums that up.NOFeel free to try it and kill youre self, i have a whole ton of JB WELD if you want to use that, for welding the struts.. Leave it to the pros to make.I really dont suggest cutting and welding 2 pieces of different dampers together, that would be extremely..Dodgy?Youll end up with different rates on each corner, different pre loads etc where you havent got them PERFECT. forget it bud and spend a few hundred on some proper ones.
