Reply to: RE: [VAC] Re: Shocks
Not all A/S shock installations are the same, they varied over time and with the size
of the trailer. The Caravel used a simple gas shock in a vertical compression
position. Later tandem axle trailers had them in a horizontal postion and seems to an
Airstream only part.
$38 ea is a great price! Sure beats what NAPA charged ($55 ea.).
