So I'm tinkering on my newly acquired Rupp (Hustler most likely). Trying to search or figure out what I can without making too many postings. Couldn't find any info.
So I know very little about these rear shocks. I noticed that one is taut and straight. The other is slightly loose with the spring not holding tension against the cap. Also noticed that the bushing inside where the rod goes through is ovaled and the rod moves side to side. I noticed that Black Widow Motorsports sells new bushings that are supposed to allow rebuilding of the 70-75 shocks. Anyone done this?
I noticed that there are also the option of an aftermarket shock set for 70 bucks, and I see original worn looking shocks for sale on ebay for up to and over 100$ ! I'm trying to stay frugal on this.
