Another F55 question
As stated in a previous post I purchased a used set of F55’s, and getting ready to install (just trying to find the time). So, I was inspecting the shocks and none of them are leaking any fluid out of the shaft seals. The shocks are fairly clean just a little dust under the boot, so I’m assuming the previous owner didn’t just clean them up for the sale. The right rear shock is easier to compress then the left, it still has a significant rebound just is a bit easier to compress (almost half the force). I was wondering if this really makes a difference as the change in fluid viscosity does the dampening? Next, on the parts sheet it list 2 different part numbers for the rear shocks, 88952526 for the right and 88952525 for the left. The shocks that I have are also labeled L Corvette AJT and R Corvette AJU, but both shocks look identical, other than that. Is there some internal differences in the shocks, is that why the RR compresses easier then the LR? I also noticed on eBay there are some new F55 rear shocks, and they are list as fitting either the right or left. Can they be used on either side? So, what gives? Again any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
