Re: [FWDLK] Got gas? SHOCKING

[Lou <email4lou@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I also agree with John and Neil.  I put the KYB's on my '59 Dodge this summer and although the car handled quite nicely for its size and age, I did notice an improvement (now if I could only find a front anti-sway bar that woulld fit, this car would CARVE :-)

The only potential drawback I see is a slightly more jarring ride when hitting bumps...VERY slightly,  And that I think may have accelerated the demise of my front upper control arm bushings (which were already on the way out anyway...)

I gotta agree w/John 100%/mucho; I put KYB's on Horace, 10(+) years ago,
& immediately noticed improved handling. Gas shocks resist suspension
movement in both directions;  regular-hydraulic's  are
vertically-challenged in only one direction. I had to cut-off  the
"umbrella"-section/piece/shroud, from the shocks, to 'fit' them, to the
front suspension.

Any-old gas rear shocks will fit our cars  ; it's been the fronts (for
'57+, anyway ) that have-been difficult to find, til recently.
