Subject:      Best shocks for an Adventurewagen
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Hello list:
Just gettin acquainted with my 87 AW, and I noticed some fairly sever
bottoming out when going over speed bumps and train tracks, especially on the
downstroke/ rebound side.  Feels like the front suspension is banging the
bumpers pretty good.
What shocks does everyone like for their westy or heavy vanagon?
KYB makes a good product that I have used on Volvos, Toyotas, and split
window busses.  Any opinions?
Also, is there any mystery to this job or is it pretty straight forward.  I
have a Bentley, but have not consulted it yet.
Thanks,
DAR
