No wonder it rides so rough. Any parts nos. or shock length would
be
appreciated.
Hi Steve and all,
As far as I know, the original shocks on the C-cars were Gabriel
S717-5
P9113. These were old stock from some other project, probably a
golf cart,
when they got them. I fitted Monroe 20721 shocks on my '75
Citicar, but I
did have to modify the lower loop and change the bottom mounting
bolt to
make it fit. I had also fitted may car with extended rear spring
bars to
get a bit more travel. The Monroe shock were not a perfect fit,
but close
enough. BTW, I understood the c-cars have only about 2" of wheel
travel.
Thanks,
