Re: [FWDLK] 56 Shocks

[Brent Burger <cgico@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am in need of shocks (front and rear) for my 1956 Dodge.   I believe there was a list member selling these shocks on ebay.  Please forward any information if possible as my Dodge has a lean to the left.

 

Thanks,

Greg in WI

Shocks don't support any load, they just dampen out suspension movement unless you get air shocks or spring over shocks. Your car should have the same stance with or without shocks. Look for broken springs or torsion bars or possibly a torsion bar in need of adjustment.

    The struts usually go out on 56 Dodges before they lose their torsion bars.

 

    Of course, it could be the muffler bearings need shimming.  ;-D

 

    As a serious aside, a broken spring or mount would be my first suspicion.
