Subject: Front vs Rear Shock Absorbers


About a year ago I replaced the rear shocks on my 1982 Westy with a new set
of BOGEs.  I am not sure what brand the old ones were, but they were totally
worn out with barely any resistance left.  I can honestly say that I noticed
absolutely no difference in the ride.


I still need to replace the front shocks and I am wondering what kind of a
difference it will make it.  Do the front shocks tend to have a greater
impact on the ride than the rears?
