Just tried to check the archives for info on doing front shocks & rear brakes on our new '88 Westy, but I couldn't get to them. I could only find the recent message list. Is there a new address for the archives? I was wondering on the difficulty level on these two jobs - The front end dips & doodles quite a bit, so I was going to try some Cajun Tire gas shocks (Monroe, $37) since the next ones are KYB for $75. How tough is this job? Are the KYBs worth 2x as much? Also, the rear brakes sound like they're worn (low grinding noises, especially backing down my steep driveway) - Is this job about the same as drums on a Jetta/Golf, or are there any pitfalls to watch out for? TIA. Shawn.
