Same thing on my old '67.  Tried the new shock thing.  Nope.  Still 
bumpy as a herd of turtles.

Local VW guru said.  "Shouldn'ta wasted yer money on them shocks.  
When a front end is shot it's shot, and turns into a rock."

So that's the way it was.  I lived with it, and I liked it.  Then I 
sold it.  ;-)
