Air Suspension System with ShockWaves® for 1978-1988 GM "G" Body cars including Monte Carlo, Regal, Cutlass, Grand Prix, Lemans, El Camino and variants. Includes front & rear HQ Series ShockWaves® with integral rebound adjustable shock absorbers, front & rear StrongArm control arms and front & rear MuscleBars. This air ride system takes the guesswork out of choosing the correct air springs and suspension parts for proper handling and ride quality. The heart of the system is Ridetech's exclusive monotube shock absorber technology with 24-position rebound adjustment to help you fine tune for your driving preferences and vehicle demands. Advanced technology hides within the shocks. The monotube design features large 1.834" pistons, heavy duty 5/8" shafts, and impact-forged bodies. Since HQ Series ShockWaves® are built to perform and made to last, they are backed by RideTech's exclusive 1,000,001 mile warranty. Based on more than 20 years of R&D, the air springs are correctly sized for Monte Carlo, Grand National, T-Type, 442, Hurst/Olds, El Camino and all G-body variants. All components are available separately as well.
Features:
TheLower StrongArmsfeature a double sheer lower mount for increased strength. We have also dropped the lower shock mount to increase suspension travel and moved the lower ball joint forward to increase caster settings while keeping the wheel centered in the wheel opening. Injection molded Delrin bushings with 13% Teflon are used to reduce deflection and stiction.
New Heim Style outer tie rods, studs and adusters are included to correct the bumpsteer.
ThisFront MucleBarhelps reduce body roll and creates room for wider front tires. It includes the PosiLink endlinks that provide immediate engagement between the chassis and control arms. ARear MuscleBaris also included.
The Rear StrongArms provide added strength to help get the power to the pavement and utilize R-Joint Technology to combine the best qualities of low friction movement, lateral stability, full range articulation, and quiet operation into one special bearing that is as home on the street as it is on the racetrack.
