Dallas' car had an AFCO shock on the black Coronet that had crapped out (had about 150 passes -- but were 7 years old) -- and so I replaced them with QA1s. I had last year done the same with a set of AFCOs on my Vitamin C. In both cases -- these were AFCO single adjustable coil over Eliminator Race shocks. I sold the set from the Vitamin C -- but wondering if it is worth my while to send this set to a good shock rebuild service with a Dyno Test report. I found: www.speedwaymotors.com/shock.dlpwww.rightfootperformance.net/shockssprings/www.bobharrisent.com/shocks.htmNone of them give the price of their service. I called one and left a message, and emailed another. My question is -- what does it typically cost to rebuild a set of AFCO single adjustable coil over shocks, and who do you use?

It turns out that these shocks were Aldans and not AFCOs.

When Dallas first told me that they were AFCO -- I went to their site and there was no information about rebuilding them. So I do a Google search on "Rebuild AFCO Shocks" I find a half dozen listings for "Factory Authorized" AFCO rebuilders. I call one of them -- and he tells me that they rebuild for various shocks, but that the "Authorized" guys have to be trained at the AFCO Facility, and the computer for the shock dyno has to have a link up to their computer. So I'm ready to send to them for $84.53 (don't ask me why the 3 cents) a rattle -- and when I tell Dallas to box up the AFCO shocks -- he tells me that they're Aldan Eagles. So I do a search on them and see the below link: www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=131271I'm thinking -- "Hot Damn, I get them rebuilt free!" I finally find their phone number from their old web site -- as the new one only offers an email address, and the guy says they don't do the Race shocks free -- they're $40 ea. So they're now in the mail.
