[DeTomaso] a front shock/spring clearance problem

[David Bell]

I have triple adjustable Aldan shocks.  I have the front spring perch as low
as it will go without hitting the lower shock adjustment knob.  I don't have
any clearance issues with the suspension though.

Gary Hall sold (still?) Aldan shocks with bigger spring perch collars so
that the original diameter Pantera springs would fit.  These collars are
significantly larger than the normal 2-1/2" (I think) Aldan springs.  In
fact, Aldan lists a Pantera shock with big spring perches in their catalog.
You can order the smaller diameter perches and springs (direct from Aldan)
and install them on your current Aldan shocks if you have the Hall stock
spring 'specials' you want to swap out.

I always wondered why the aftermarket springs and shock collars were so much
bigger then the rears that Hall sold with the Aldan shocks I boughjt 5 years
ago.  . .I've lowered the front of my Pantera as far as I can go without the
that front  Hall shock 'collar' on the bottom of the shock hitting the
suspension.

  Before I go to Dick Drenske, Aldan and/or others to fix the problem I'm
curious if anyone on the List with the Aldan adjustable shocks with the Hall
collars and aftermarket springs has 'fixed' the problem.
