I have the double action swing arm shocks off my truck.

Is there a simple way of checking their condition?

I mean, whether they are good to use or need rebuilding.

TIA

I can't tell you if they are good but I did find this post that tells you how to rebuild them.

I have a full set I removed from a 48 that is in process of being converted to a street rod if you need an extra shock or two.

Thanks for the reply.

I am thinking of contacting the restoration place in Santa Ana, California. I am sure they will say that they need to be rebuilt.

I wanted to see if anyone here knows anything about these shocks.

I think they are cool and want to leave them on the truck.

Does anyone else run them on their truck?
