84 5KT shocks

[ti@amb.org (Ti Kan)]

Hi all,

My 84 5000 turbo still has the original shocks (it's only got 68K miles)
and lately I am observing a curious phenonmenon...  The front shocks seem
to be getting *stiffer*!  That's quite strange.  I thought that shocks
are supposed to get soft as they wear?  The front right shock (passenger
side) in particular feels stiffer than the left side, and this makes the
ride a bit weird over rough roads.

Any ideas what's going on here?  Maybe it's not a shock-related issue
and there is something else amiss in my suspension?
