That was super nice to do what you did for Vickie. That really meant allot to her. They look great on the wall. When Megan saw them she had a smile from ear to ear. I won't forget it brother. Get some rest and we will talk soon.

Well I got under the car again last night and again did not see anything wrong other than the bad wheel bearing. Something is causing the rear end to squat big time upon hard acceleration. Even my buddy that took pictures of me launching at the drag strip said your rear end sunk down big time launching off the line. My mono leaf spring is not cracked. It looks good top and bottom. There's only a few things it could be which brings me back to shocks. All the bolts are tight. All the bushings look fine. I've driven a car that had bad shocks before and it makes the car feel squashy and ride low. The car has KYB gas shocks on it. I have the original Bilstiens in a box. They need to be rebuilt. My passenger side tires both have bad wheel bearings but that has nothing to do with the entire rear end squatting. From the ground to the highest point of the wheel well it measures 28". I gues the mono spring could be cracked in the middle where I cant see it. Anyway I've got to get back to work.

Get those original shocks rebuilt with the Morocco valving or whatever and get your actuators working. The MOracca morocco moaco moraco anyone know how to spell it should stiffen it right up.

But another cheaper shock idea is what I put on my 96LT4 I owned previously. It was the Edlebrock Performer IAS (inertia actuated schock) they really fixed up that 100,000 mile LT4 when I put those on in place of the worn out Bilsteins

Or you could just pop for the Coil Over Setup and some of those pricey Penske adjustable shocks with the seperate reservior etc.

the only problem is money doesnt grow on trees. rick has kids and wife that have needs too . that is why i offered the kyb shocks and the other parts i drove to him .he does love his car as we all do .just sometimes things have to be put on the back burner for family reasons .heck thats why he has friends so we can help out those in need .

I know Rick...I was just messing with him. If I wasn't stuck in NJ all the time these days I would be over there wrenching on his car with him. Maybe my airline will cut me a little slack one of these days and let me return to Houston.
