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?

Score from Elliot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
This reminds me I can adjust my front anti-roll bar softer since I am not going to AX race any time soon and it's an easy way to soften my bumpy ride. Replacing the main suspension bushings and ball joints transformed my front suspension from noisy to less so, and much "tighter." |
