Rear Shocks

[jetboat]

Can you run quad's?

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.

Thanks brooks, but the torque boxes are fine haven't been to the track and haven't really beat on it to much and it was a 4cyl car till about 6 months ago!

I liked my Strange struts. I had Lakewoods on the back. The car was originally a four banger and he hasn't raced it so boxes should be fine.

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.

the strange adjustables suck, i hated mine.

I run lakewood 50/50. I like them.

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

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.

yea i did made sure the they had a load on them. im just gonna throw some shocks on it before i start messing with anythings else i don't want to get to far head of myself and mess something else up!

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...

tubular late models
