i flew down to Zainsville with pocket full of cash. I dont remember the guys name but ended up walking away from it...rented a car and drove home. The guy owned a bar and was into a few things down there. Wonder if he sold it locally and you may have bought from another owner? Don't think it had the weber carb or that exhaust

I'm pretty sure I used just cheap plain old Monroe's on mine too, work fine but I don't do any towing.
WimpTech... Precision Guesswork, questionable results.
I did New monroe shocks years ago worked great . Just installed (front) Rancho RS 5000 and they are great ! I always thought our vans could use a more heavy duty better shock ! WOW impressed . Will be replacing the back ASAP . Bill

I drove my Monroes for 10,000 miles before I replaced them with a new set...
