Assuming you have it back together now and its driving, what's your thoughts on the shock comfort wise?
All back together and driving.

Given it 20 miles on loathsome roads today and it is definitely different. You can feel some of the road beneath you and that the suspension is working... The car feels quieter inside but that's because the prop bearing was mince as much as anything.

There are a couple of noises that have disappeared. The steering is smoother. I need to retrain my brain as the car has either always felt like it did or gradually got to that point. An example.ofnthis is whilst hitting a.puddle.this mornings I reflexively steered away from the direction the car usually pulls. I need not have done it just ploughs dead ahead.

It definitely controls it's weight better BUT the jelly-like ride I had before I unequivocally improved the car was more isolative and sloppier which will take some getting used to. There is nothing rewarding at the bottom of the pedals driving a 940 and as such, my feeling is the softer the better.

Time will tell.
