Topic: Houdaille shock lever for 1940 Ford tudor

  I shipped my old houdaille shocks to get rebuilt. With my permission I received a like pair of shocks. For some reason the shock leg does not align up with the attachment on the front axle, making the connecting link out of alignment. The shock lever has F888 on its leg. Is this the correct lever?
Thanks, Bob

  Front arms have F-837 on them as well as 10 cast upon a boss near the link hole. Body diameter is 2 7/8". Links on front are 3" if no sway bar... if there's a sway bar, then 4".

Rear shocks have F-745 on them. They also have a body diameter of 2 7/8". Links on rear are always 3".

  Thanks Mike. Maybe they sent me the wrong levers which are marked F888 on the front. I will ask for the F837 shocks.
