Title: Rear Suspension questions
Post by: chaddyg8 on January 06, 2018, 06:21:34 PM

Now that my 78 invader is running!! My rear slide Suspension has virtually no up-and-down movement? I had the Suspension  off no cracks or anything but where should I start looking? When the  suspension was out I stood on the Pivot points and the shock had quite a bit of resistance And the spring. Thanks for any help.

There are shafts that go through the swing arms. They are probably froze up. I have the same problem with mine but haven't taken it apart to verify. I'll do that when warmer weather comes back.
