73 Dart Front Shocks
I have a 318 Dart that I recently rebuilt the front end on with standard TRW front end parts. Stock gas charged shocks on front end. The car drives well but I am not happy with the shocks at all. Seem to be almost too stiff at slow speed and somewhat bouncy at highway speed. Tires are 205/70R14 at 32 psi.
Before with the old worn out front end parts and old delco shocks I did not have this bouncing at highway speeds. I have the car ride height adjusted to level, will go and actually measure tommorow but am sure it will be at least 2". Any ideas for better shocks to get better control at speed? Am using standard 318 torsion bars. |

monroe sensi trac is a good shock.
Arguably the best on the market(depending on needs of course) It senses speed of movement. It will allow slower movement of the shock(like you get on light jounce) but tightens up when a fast moving jounce is felt. It has to do with some wizzy valving in it. I sold several sets when I ran my shop, and had no complaints. |

KYB Gas adjust on all four wheels will make a majpr difference in the way it drives and handles. Only other way to get a better shock is to go to a race shock so you can order the valving the way you want it. |

I've had good luck with the monromatic standard shocks. Stiffened the front end up nicely in my old 79 Lebaron with a 318.

I like the idea of the adjustable shock although I understank KYB's have valving that adjusts to road conditions too. I have had god luck with monroe too in the past. Am thinking I wil probably try the KYB's as it stands now.
