Price to rebuild rear shocks? - 04/12/09 02:11 AM

I have a set of Competition Engineering single adjustable shocks on my ladder bar setup. You can bounce the back of my car like a basketball 5 or 6 times then it gets stiff. So I'm assuming these shocks need rebuilt or replaced.

What's it normally cost to send 2 shocks out for a rebuild?

I didn't know CE's were rebuildable. Considering the cost of new CE's it may be less expensive to purchase new.

I have 4 new CE's for my 69 roadrunner that were removed for AFCO's. The CE's never left the garage when installed.

I'll give ya all 4 for $50.

Bob

Thats a 47.00 shock noone will rebuild it Cuz its cheaper to buy the 47.00 new shock

If it was a lamb or santhuff or even a afco.It wood be worth having done BUT not for a 47.00 shock

Wow I didn't know they were that cheap. I've been browsing Summit's site and all the shocks seemed so expensive, but I didn't look at the CE prices as I just looked at my shocks 15 minutes ago to see what brand they were. LOL

I think I have everyone confused, I have coilover shocks, I think you guys are thinking I just have regular 90/10 50/50 70/30 type shocks. Sorry.

Bobprofab, get me a price on those customer shocks. And I'll call CE to see if they can rebuild mine or not.

Maybe you're thinking of the blue car Bob.

I crawled under the car and the passenger shock said Competition Engineering real big. Maybe I'll check the drivers side tomorrow. LOL!

Jeff, what's the part number for the $47 shock? I still haven't found it. That would definitely be in my price range compared to the others.

Well the kit they come with includes perches for those shocks to fit inside the coil spring. Its a cheapy version of the coilover. I ran them for years and they worked just fine ...they are just very difficult to adjust. I have the perches and shocks from my car in my shed

...I'd ship it to you cheap. I was running 10.50's with them ...but I think I got lucky one nite and used some of the winnings to buy new QA1's.

I think you may be referring to Naake in Roseville, CA. Don't know his drag race stuff, but his is on top of his circle track shock setups.
