Chuck Griffin Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I’m new to the classic car world, that said I recently bought a 1940 Buick super. I was wondering about the shocks, can you refill them?, if so what kind of oil do you use? How do you tell if they need replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 They can be refilled. There is a plug with 1/4" square head on top. Remove. Add any hydraulic oil. If the oil does not leak out too fast, you are a lucky man. If it does it is rebuild time. Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
