Re: front shocks

ok, so the shocks were not the problem. the oil on the shocks was a leak was from the front seal on the intake manifold. So that repair starts tuesday. The bounce and rough ride was caused by a broken top leaf in the left front spring. Fixed that with an extra spring I had laying around.
Oh well, I dont claim to know everything.
