Re: Shocks for 140's 140-160 1970

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve on  Wed Jul 25 11:47 CST 2001 [RELATED]

An option for the rear suspension is to fit 240 shocks. KYB gas seem fine. Remove the shock absorber lower mounting "stud" from the trailing arms (keep the spacer tube which fits inside the "U" of the arm) and replace it with a 10mm dia bolt and Nyloc nut of suitable length (about 4.25" from memory). The top mount fits as is. The rebound damping on 240 shocks is stiffer than 140's. For the front Koni are excellent. They're adjustable for rebound and are re-buildable.
