We have had one similar case of wear showing on chassis 27-SG. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} We fitted these shock absorbers here but we have had the car in since and put the matter right. Have you any experience of the double Hartford shock absorber ? I have one client to whose car I fitted them. it is a very heavy body. He is delighted with them.
