[Mgs] MGA Rebuilt front Shock

[Barney Gaylord]

Robert,

If you suspect something is wrong with the part, the first place you 
should ask this question is with the vendor.  If they think it is a 
faulty part they may replace it immerdiatelym and ther may be no 
problem to diascuss.  If you don't like the vendor's answer, then it 
may be open for public discussion.

Functional units that I have had my hands on will keep the arm 
raised.  You have to push down very hard to go full travel in five 
seconds.  If the arm ever goes down by its own eright alone, it 
should probably take several minutes to go full travel.  I'm pretty 
sure they should never do that.
