I'm changing shocks on the 69 this morning. According to the Haynes (YUCK) manual, this job looks pretty straight forward. Are there any "gotcha's" out there of which I should be aware?
Dave, The front shocks are pretty much an easy job, if you have the tools. However, the back ones can be a PITA. The top bolt is the worse. I goes in at a little of an angle, but if you hook it up first, and play with it a little it will fit. You mat have to bend out the upper mount, a little to get the holes to align. Do not let the wheels hang. Use a jack, or jack stand, to hold up on the trailing arm. The trailing arm will drop past the normal shock travel.................Hope this helps.........Steve
