Just to highjack the thread, rebuilding original shocks seems to be more of a reconditioning than a rebuilding. Cleaning, new seals. If your original shocks are worn and you get them "rebuilt" they might last a year if you actually drive your car a lot. Then they leak and don't work. (OK, maybe we have not all had the same experience). Nothing against Robert Paul he is an outstanding gentleman. However, consider biting the bullet and buy a set of new shocks. It's only money......
