Axle Damper Shocks


So I finally replaced these two shocks in the rear after a year of having the mustang. When I bought, one was broken and the other was completely worn out. (206,000 miles on it) I originally just replaced the u/l control arms with the bbk u/l and noticed a lot firmer launch. I know alot of people tell you you do not need the quadra shocks when you have aftermarket control arms but you absolutely need then b/c my mustang grips the road alot better now and is also less harsh when the rear hits a bump. Definitely worth the $85 investment.

I did the same upgrade on my sn95, bbk u/l control arms. Which brand of quads did you go with? I have yet to drive my stang and am anxious to feel the results of my upgrades. I have a list of mods to install. My second quetion is which kind of grease did you use to grease the certs on the u/l control arms

I used the cheap kyb's from advance auto. I got my brother discount so without that they would have been $50 +tax each. I used the lube that came with my bushing kit for the install and about every two months after the install I hit it with the red bearing grease I have laying around thats made for Ford.
