As one would expect for a 37 year old car, there are obviously some parts that need replacement. I have new control arm bushings and ball joints to install. But every time I hit a bump it sounds like a jumble of parts slapping together. Thinking the shocks are gone. Anything else to check? Where is a good place to get stock shocks or is there another shock type that would give a comfortable ride and improve handling?

Your rattles may be coming from the worn bushings. When they wear, your torsion bars rest and rub against the inside of your control arms.
If you don't mind... Fill me in on your driving style/requirements. This will help to figure out what your needs would be in the shock and suspension department. (calipers left yesterday btw) |
