telescopic shocks

[Clive Sherriff]

Dave The pins should be parallel with the chassis otherwise you get some quite peculiar torque angles on compression and rebound, which is probably what caused the (fatigue) failure on yours over time. Clive ----------------------------

Are they mounted with the pins along the chassis or at 90 degree to the chassis. and is it the same top and bottom. I made some brackets 25 years ago and they have broken the eye on the shock absorber due I think to the axle nosing down at the front when braking (axle wind up) and the new ones I make I want to get right.
