One of my '49's lever-action (knee-action)shock absorbers needs rebuilding.  Does anyone have any experience with 5 Points Classic Shock Rebuilders in Santa Ana CA?  Or with Apple Hydraulics in NY?  Or any other?

Thanks,

Jay, I've used Apple a number of times and always been satisfied.    Harry

Apple did all four shocks on my '41. No problems.

Ditto on the above posts. I've used Apple for over 30 years with no issues. They did the '47 and they used to do all my British stuff that nobody else would touch. You get what you pay for.

Thanks for all the info.  I'll ship the shock to Apple.

Jay,

Hope all is well.

I have used 5 points for my 37 LaSalle and 49 Cad with great results. The son now runs the business but does good work.

My opinion.
