rear axle dampers (quad shocks?)
My 1991 Mustang 5.0 LX has these dampers connecting the rear axle to the body. I went to my local ford dealer and O' reillys and neither can get these. One of mine is split and the other is rusty. my rear axle is moving all around and id really appreciate if someone can direct me where to get some new ones. The only thing i was told is salvage, but who gets shocks off a wrecked car? the chances theyll be good are slim and even if they are theyll be worn out. thanks.

I just replaced my quads with KYB's a few months ago. Advance doesnt stock them but they can order them and get them in a few days. Theyre a little over $40 each.

RE: rear axle dampers (quad shocks?)
I agree w/ 7UP....get a set of UPR HD Upper and Lower control arms (189-ish) and trash your stock U/L's and quads. The quads are there to limit wheel hop due to the weak stock U/L control arms. Replace them and you don't need quads at all.
