? All four of our 617 powered cars have two of them. I had a worn out shock on one side of my engine so I just left it off when I reinstalled the motor in my car....makes no difference, though, probably since the shock was dead. I don't mind a small shake when I turn off the car....its perfectly smooth when running.

After further review...
I stand corrected.
I now believe all 617's imported here did come with two shocks.
I apologize for any inconvenience.

A related, but slightly different question to the crowd: how can I tell if the engine shocks on my car are good/bad.... is there a good test to figure out if they are worn or if they can be re-installed?!

Thanks
James

If they resist in and out slow = they are good.

90% of the time it is the upper/lower mounts that go bad...
