Quad Shocks

New88MustangOwner · August 21st, 2006, 10:26 PM

I just installed new wheels and tires on my 88 mustang gt. I am using this car for the strip only. I had to remove the axle dampers or (quad Shocks ) to make the tires fit. I know these are to help axle hop on a hard launch. Any suggestions on what i can do to help offset the loss of the dampers.

Quad shocks are a factory band aid for a poorly designed lower control arm. Get a good set of aftermarket control arms and forget about the quad shocks.

I pulled mine off when I replaced my uppers and lowers with Steedas.
