I bought 2 new rear shock links at Flint recently and was told they are for my 1950 Model 52 Super Sedan.
Getting the old ones out, they are 7.5" center to center to each mounting stud.
The new ones are 7".
It looks like I could install them but the shocks would have .5" less travel. The wheels would not hang down quite as far when the car is on a hoist making the rear tire to fender well clearance a little less.
My question is will the shorter links effect the ride of my Buick and will they do any damage to the lever shocks?
