Shock and awe...

One of the first projects I did with the MG was to replace the driver's (left) side front shock absorber. You can read about it here:

After driving the MG for a few months I decided I would replace the shocks all around. This was a relatively easy process with right tools, a little muscle, and a fair amount of cussing.

Removing the rear shocks basically means putting the car on jack stands, removing the wheels and detaching the shock absorbers from the mounts. Most of this is easy to do. However, the link between shock and the leaf spring bracket was pretty corroded and required some heat and cutting to remove.

 Once the old stuff was removed it was time to install the new. The process for installation will likely be detailed when you receive the new parts. That said, you can just reverse the steps used for removal and viola! new rear shocks for this gem of a roadster. Here are some photos...

 After install both side I did a test drive and found that the ride to be more stable with less "bounce" and swaying when making turns. As part of the process I also replaced the passenger's (right) side front shock and those steps were similar to the left side.

Things are really coming together!
