Pete removed the very tired old shocks on our 1977 Ford Granada and replaced them with new Gaz adjustable units. The old shocks had very little damping effect and could easily be compressed by hand, while the new units should significantly improve the car’s ride quality.
He also removed the power steering rack for refurbishment, as it was tight when turning in one direction and leaking at both rack boots. Upon refitting, the track rod ends will also be replaced. This was a fairly involved job on the old Ford, requiring the engine mounts to be slackened and the engine raised by a couple of inches to create enough clearance to remove the rack.
Fresh number plates were also put on the car.
