Hej Stubbe..,
Take a search in the AACA Forum for post war Buicks ,technical..
Look at 55 special shock absorber source.
There are some good ideas,Pics for the swap to Tele Shocks.
Hope you in Sweden can open the AACA., for me in Germany
the US- Server is complete blocked since one year..
Good luck.
 
Fill the shocks with hydraulic jack oil. You might have to do it a few times to get oil down into the cylinders. If leaking badly but functioning well with a full load of fluid, just reseal: LINK
Functioning lever shocks are better than any tube shock.
Replace the panhard bar bushings to keep the rear from steering the car.
 
Hallo.Panhard Bushings any parts nr?Same as Chevrolet?Or else models?Stubbe in a cloudi Sweden.
 
Panhard bushings are available from most Buick suppliers like CARS Buick in New Jersey, Bob's Automobilia, Fuscik Buick, etc. These are too soft and will soon wear out.
Or Polyurethane: from https://www.suspension.com part number "bulk 2007"...you will need to trim and grind to duplicate the existing bushings. You will have to call them to order and it will take some time.
 
Thanks for your intressed of my question.I have the Whinter to get my Lady shall order spare parts from WWW .Suspension.com"Maybe if they have orher parts and shipping to Sweden .Tanks all.Stubbe in a cloudy Sweden.
