[TPR] Shocks

[bob Radefeld]

Asa,

 My experience with the Aldans that I installed on my car 5 years ago
exactly parallel those of Dick. I have not had a need to return any of
them for repair however & I did use their bushings that were included
with the shocks - no modifications required. Happy camper here!
