:soapbox: Those shocks were obviously installed by someone who doesn't understand automotive engineering at all. I'd consider the whole vehicle suspect in this case, and I'd only buy it for the price of the parts, minus the work it would take to completely rebuild it. It just amazes me when people do dumb things like that! I do lot's of dumb things, but this is a case of plain old blattant ignorance. NOTE: I said the person was ignorant, and that does not imply a lack of intelegence, only that they don't know what they are doing. We are ALL ignorant on many subjects, you just need to know when you DON'T know...
Maybe it was growing up in the country around lot's of machinery, or maybe it was the countless days spent roaming the local wrecking yards studying cars, or maybe it's through many years of experience (read "lot's of stupid mistakes"), or maybe it is just from lot's of reading and learning about automotive design and function, but when I see things like this it just makes me shake my head and wonder how many of these machines have been built without basic engineering knowledge. This is not acceptable! If you don't know, ask before you do! That's what this forum is all about, I think...
End soap box...

PS Spelling is one of the things I'm pretty ignorant about, so please excuse the obvious spelling errors!
