28 Chrysler Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I take it they are like a shock or snuber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagefinds Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 They look similar to the more common Westinghouse shocks. The upper bolt,closest to the cylinder,went through the hole at the end of the frame,the other went through the end of the spring. Then compressed air was forced into the cylinder making the car ride on an air cushion. Most of them were put on the front,some cars had them on the front and the rear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sagefinds Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 At second glance,this is not an air shock,the cylinder does not stand up but hangs down and just has spring action inside the cylinder. I'm guessing they didn't last very long hanging down out in front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
