The lever shock that I welded was operating OK, and the arm could be moved up and down. The other one is siezed, and I opened it up after cleaning it. Acording to the workshop manual, the shock should be filled with hydraulic oil, but the shock was completely dried out inside. I filled it with oil now and will let it soak for a while. If that doesn't do it, I will soak the entire shock in diesel oil. The cool thing about this shock, is that some of the original paint is hidden under the rust. It will be enough to get the correct color to paint them again. The welded shock will also be opened and oil-treated.
