Fixing a shock with a broken shaft.

Testing and matching some 4 way shocks from modern formula car. That is being able to externally adjust low and high speed bump (compression) and low and high speed rebound.

On the left screen you can see a trace of the resistance of the shock in test, and its pair. The shock in test is adjusted to match its pair, both in low speed and high speed.

Together with thousands of classic car enthusiasts around the world, I will be raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health for the charity, Movember. Before the dapper day, I'll be...

If you leave your open car out in the weather for several years, this is what happens. Water in the shock body does not help.

Also bits of worn out internal bits on piston sealing surfaces does not help performance.

In the bottom right picture, the aluminum item shows the imprint of the piston being forced to the top of the shock. In this case, the springs were too long, which resulted in the piston staying at the top of shock body. So every bump resulted in the piston slamming the internal aluminum bush.

This would also result in the shock having no rebound movement, so when the car entered a turn, one side would go down into bump, the other side could not go into rebound, so the inside (rear in this instance) wheel would lift off the ground.

For maximum grip, you need four wheels on the ground.

If you have sent me a set of AVO shocks for overhaul this week, can you contact me to discuss?

We have plenty.

Sadly, following the liquidation of AVO in the UK, I have not been able to secure a supply of internal wear parts. I have only three large body internal bushes left in stock.

This means, I cannot satisfactorily overhaul any large body shock absorbers after they are used up.

I have plenty of red poly bushes and bump stops still in stock, and a limited number of small body internal bushes.

The only option I have for you, is to supply new shocks. I have a small supply of AVO shocks, that I'm happy to sell at a discount. Otherwise, I have a supply of GAZ shocks that may suit.

Someone called Michael left a message on our answering service yesterday. Unfortunately, the phone number was garbled, and we cant recall your phone-call. Perhaps ring again, or reply?
