TC, thanks, I can't tell you how pleased I am to hear that!!
I still think it odd that the suspension load hangs on the shocks when extended, but having now got both sides connected I think maybe that's just as design. I suppose that when driving the most significant loads will be acting in the opposite direction. Many thanks all for your help on this. Michael. |

Micheal,
If you need to change a spring it is necessary to disconnect the shocks to allow suspension to drop sufficiently, so as stated above, the shocks do stop the suspension from dropping. |

Don't all cars 'hang' on the shocker when jacked up? They have to really.
