All I remember seeing is crude from the strategic petroleum reserve

My 116 came with worn out, 2-3 year old, low mileage Sears shocks on it.
Probably Monroe or Gabriel products. One of the backs was devoid of fluid,
letting the tire dribble like a basketball. The other three aren't as good
as 150kmi Bilsteins.
I think I get the idea! I shopped around, and the cheapest I could get the

it for what I would pay for just the shocks.I'll be back to driving the 80

My fuel milage was getting gradually bad, which I contributed to little and
