Hi
Does anyone know how I can check the front and rear shock absorbers on my 1929 Clifton Tourer are working correctly. The car drives as if the shocks are not working as they should.

Take one end off and physically try them. They should be easier in one direction so that the rebound is less than the other. They have been installed upside down if the wing nut is on top. New linings are available from the club.

Hi Humphrey47
Thanks for the information I will give it a try, my wing nuts are underneath so mounted the right way.
Many thanks
Regards
Paul

Forgot to mention the obvious. There should be two rings showing on the other end of the wingnut screw. They should be filled with grease. (circulated with an internal paddle)
