where do i find bilsteins for my 68???i looked in the summit and jegs catalogs and found none for my car. where did you get yours?....would it be the heavy duty ones for everyday use or would i be looking for different ones? any suggested brand beside bilstein is welcome
I've also been looking for the Bilstein shocks for my '70. The best I have found is at: www.eshocks.com . Most places don't even have them for front and rear. I have spent several hours searching the internet for them. I also have been getting different part numbers for them too. just my .02
I have noticed that I feel everything on the road through my 70 series TAs (per my other post). I did a search but didn't come up with much on shocks. Is it likely that my problem is shocks? Will a set of Edelbrock or Bilstein shocks will make the car ride smoother?
It's a combination of factors, but tires and shocks are a big part of it. I use bilsteins, with polygraphite bushings everywhere. Not too bad of a ride, handles like it's on rails - but I just installed new rims/tires, and it made a noticeable improvement. Turns out my old tires were 20 years old!
Thanks Mark,
I like the 427 and the missle car thing, but I'd really like a smooth ride, more like a modern car. I'm not concerned about the handling, just the quality of the ride. I see that as mostly tires and shock.... but I've been wrong before.
Thanks buddy!
So are the Monroe's just junk? They are new but don't seem to do the job.
Also, on a club cruise on Saturday I noticed an on off vibration starting at 70 mph. It's oscillating, one second vibration, one second no vibration and it goes away at 68 mph. The tires and drive shaft are balanced and it was not there last Summer. Now I have to figure that out too.
Thanks
Chuck
