Shock Absorber Rebuilding Service Houdaille Lever Action Type We rebuild the shock absorbers you send us unless you prefer exchange (if available). Rebuildable cores are required for exchange basis. The core charge is added to the exchange price if you decide to buy a shock outright. Shocks with broken or missing parts cannot be accepted for exchange. There is a $10.00 Service Charge for disassembling and inspecting your shocks. This will be applied to rebuilding costs if shocks are good.   Rebuilding/Exchange (each)(US$) Core Charge (US$) Ford - Mercury 1928-31 Model A Front & Rear $125.00 $30.00 1932 Model B & V-8 Front & Rear $125.00 $35.00 1933 All $150.00 $39.00 1934-36 Fronts $150.00 $50.00 1934-36 Rears $150.00 $39.00 1937-48 All $125.00 $35.00 Lincoln 1936 Front $150.00 $40.00 1936 Rear $150.00 $40.00 1937-40 All $150.00 $40.00 1941-48 All $150.00 $36.00 Continental All $150.00 $50.00 Lincoln K All $150.00 $50.00 Studebaker 1933-36 All $150.00 $40.00 1937-49 All $150.00 $40.00 Ferrari 1947-60 All $250.00   Maserati All $250.00   Pierce Arrow All $150.00   Packard All Please inquire   Cadillac All Please inquire   Spiral Tube Shocks Please inquire Are your shocks rebuildable? About 30% of unsorted and unpicked-over original Model A and 1932 shocks are rebuildable. Here is what to look for: Rebuildable 1. The shaft can be turned, and is not loose and does not wobble from side to side. About 10% of the shocks are like this. All can be rebuilt. 100% 2. The shaft is loose and wobbles from side to side, even the slightest amount. These shocks are worn out and cannot be rebuilt. 0% 3. The shaft is frozen but crooked. Look for an uneven circular clearance between the shaft and the stamped cover. These are worn out and cannot be rebuilt. 0% 4. The shaft is frozen but straight. All these must be disassembled to determine if they can be rebuilt. This category will constitute about 40% of the total. About half of these can be rebuilt. 50% The same inspection may be used for other Houdaille shock absorbers. The success rate for newer shocks is usually better than for the Model A. However, category 3 and 4 above will be harder to determine on those shocks because of the arm which cannot be easily removed to examine the shaft straightness.  Top Our work is guaranteed for one (1) year. | New | Rebuild | Parts | Order | Info | Photos | Home | M&S Hydraulics 7387 S.E.
