Thanks, Rodney theoldguy 04-25-2003, 11:55 AM I use hydraulic jack oil and it works fine. smile.gif smile.gif Georgia50 04-25-2003, 12:15 PM Thanks Joe - and somebody suggested ATF (automatic transmission fluid) Rodney theoldguy 04-25-2003, 06:45 PM ATF is OK if the shocks have been rebuilt with neoprene seals. The older shocks have rubber seals,and the ATF will desroy the seals. Georgia50 04-26-2003, 05:21 AM Good to know Joe, Thanks!
