84SOOB Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 This might be a stupid question but, what does a adjustable shock do for you? In this case the REBOUND is adjusted on the rear shock. Thanks, Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardgabe Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 It gives you height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobme Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Re-bound has NOTHING to do with ride higth. It controlls how fast the valving in the shock lets it expand(get longer) so more rebound will let the car come up from a bump faster less rebound will let it come up slower;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyKeith Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Basically a shock setup with less rebound will be soft and give you a squishy ride. A shock setup with more rebound will be stiff and ride hard. More rebound means more force pushing it back in contact with the road, and therefore generally better handling.

edrach Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Brian, does this mean your Brat is up and running again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
84SOOB Posted January 28, 2004 Author Share Posted January 28, 2004 Hi Ed, yes I fixed the Brat before X-mas with Austin having the steering knuckle I needed. Now that the holidays are over I have more time to allocate to my baby. I have a vibration/noise at certain speeds like the wheel wobbles badly. I've tried separately swapping out the wheel, brake rotor, and axle in case one was bent. I'll get an alignment next maybe it's as simple as that. The control arm and strut assbly look straight to my eye. I also went out to the PAPs last week to look for a fender and door, but passed on what was there. According to the parts manual I need a '83-up coupe or hatchback door and a '83-up any model fender. BTW your PM box is full.--Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
