I have a 94 GT Last nite I was throwing in my rear KYB AGX 8 position adjustable gas shocks in the rear end. I found what I believe is an axle damper? it looks like a little shock that goes sideways. Can I replace this and where can I get aftermarket ones with urithane bushings? and what is the exact name of them? last thing...... when I do the front struts, is there anythign I should watch out for? any tips you guys know of? I got caster camber plates fom upr so they should help..... thanks alot guys..

 

ok so i got the picture. they are called axle dampers. they sell kyb ones out of summit for like 35$$ a piece. does anyone know if this will effect anything with my rims, is there any way i can check the backspacing... ? thanks guys

 

they are also called quad shocks, they control wheel hop. how wide are your wheels/tires?

 

18x10 american racing rebels. with 275, 35 18's on them. do you think the wheels will effect the new ones? they look physically bigger than the stock ones too.. if they are what will I do? get rear wheel spacers?

 

you can also get control arms and then take off the quad shocks. the quad shocks prevent the lower control arms from flexing

 

I have a set of aftermarket upper and lower control arms. Do the lower ones go in place of the quad shocks? or do they have another spot? I found where the upper control arms go. I had to pull my cat back off to get to them above my rear axle. Where do the lowers go? I just ordered the energy suspension polyurithane kit for the whole car.. I cant wait..

 

Lakewood traction bars! it will cost about $170, but well worth it. You can then just eliminate the quad shock and not worry about it anymore. The lower control arm bolts to the bracket on the axle and connects to the frame.

what do i have to take out to put that in its place? i found the upper control arms and i am not happy about it but i had to cut my cat back out to get to them.... its ok its an excuse for a ne wone... i got the slp just a few min's ago what do u guys think?

 

I don't know how to explain it any better than, you must remove the lower control arm. It is the one that connects to the axle bracket and up to the frame. Does that answer your question?
