Rear Shocks

pinion angle

im gonna have to say no only because it doesn't sit any different then the other one did but then again i could be wrong!

[Magnimike1]

No.

solution?

solution?

I have no idea. It seems that he may be on the right track by getting better shocks. Of course, quad shocks may also help.

The differential weight is merely there for NVH reasons (it manipulates the resonant frequency) and does a poor job at that, even with a 100% stock Mustang.

When I blew out the passenger rear shock on my capri it caused wheel hop . Get a new set clint and I bet it fixes it .

Strange shocks are good and not to much. What control arms did you install?

tubular late models

I just put some Strange 10-way adjustable ones on mine front and back. I haven't played with the settings too much just yet, but I like the adjustability...

Shocks will probably help especially if they are worn, or leaking. When you tightened the arms were they loaded. If not you may have the bushings in a bind. Try loosening them and bouncing the car a few times and retighten the arms.

the strange adjustables suck, i hated mine.

I run lakewood 50/50. I like them.

[Doug Hatton]

Just out of curiosity, what didn't you like about them?

never could get the adjustment right, more expensive than lakewoods likie i should have gotten, and finally the adjustment knobs fell off. just cheap parts. there is a reason i think the qa1's are more than double the price.

We've been hundreds of 1.20's on strange shocks, there's nothing wrong with them. Yes, they are cheaper than QA1's - but QA1's are billet aluminum for starters, and I believe they have heim ends on them as well.

I don't think that an adjustable shock is the answer, but a new set of shocks are a step in the right direction and likely your problem. I'd also look into torn up torque boxes, a VERY possible problem on a high mileage stocker.
