Good point!

After spending 6 weeks in the hospital/rehap I will be going home next wed...back to my wonder full boring life.I will then
get back on my Ghia,

Don

Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery.

thanks.....Don

I am now home, but in a wheelchair. It will be a while before in home therapy can get me up & about. My friend that was going to help me
sort out the problem has taken a job in Miami so I lost my help.

Will keep you all informed if I can find any help.

Don

Sounds good.

I do not understand what happened, but A friend bounced the front of the car up/down violently & the side that did not want to move
also moved.
The one side is still lower, but I will be able to drive it once I gain strength & get out of the wheel chair.

thanks for all the help.....anyone care to guess what happened?frozen joint?

Don

I would expect that you have a frozen shock or trailing arm bearing.
Note. If someone has installed the urethane sleeves (in lieu of factory needle bearings) they may not have been sized correctly.

I'd guess Helo is on the right track. Get your friend to unbolt all four shocks from one end then test by push/pull by hand to see if they move. Also bounce the car again while they are loose to see if anything frees up.

when I bought the car the tubes had no grease in them. I think I need to grease the the tubes again to see if it helps.

Don

If you have urethane front beam bushings that were forced in rather than "fitted" they can stick and hang up the beam travel.

I do not have urethane bushings.....I ordered new front oil shocks from kgp&r & received them today.........Don.
