Hey guys,
just got my shcoks that I bought off Ebay ( link-->Click Me (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2470326106&category=4397) ). I installed them properly last night (greased the bushing areas, cleaned the shafts lightly with WD40, made sure they were right side up :-) etc). Well on the up and down stroke they make significant noise like a squeal and they just don't feel smooth. I emailed the guy and he claims they have felt like that from day one when Santo DeRisi set them up (they were originally Works Steelers tripple rates that Santo revalved with the Pro Mil kit and his custom Ressies a couple years ago).
Somehow I have a hard time believing that good, quality, aftermarket shocks are "supposed" to squeal and feel a little ruff on the up and down stroke. Tell me I'm wrong... I may have to send them to Santo for additipnal $$$ if you guys tell me so. This guy said that he just changed the oil himself in them. I may have gotten taken here. Help!
