What are you running for rear shocks if you have a Chrysler or Plymouth C-Body in these year ranges?
I have a 1972 Plymouth Fury. I bought some old NOS Monroe's off ebay, but would like to do something stiffer for rear shocks. I measured approx 25.40" extended length, center to center, with 8.75 axle hanging on leaf springs, no shocks installed.
I also bought a 1988 KYB paper catalog off ebay. KG5512 (22.64" center to center, extended length) fits all c-body Dodge, which is why Dodges are not mentioned in the title. I tried KG5512, but does not give enough extended length for 15X7 cop rims to mount.
KG5513 is listed for 1970-1973 Chrysler & 1971-1973 Plymouth. KG5513 is a discontinued part#. Unfortunately, the tables at the rear of catalog did not give extended and collapsed length on the (New Part# for 1988) KG Shock line. I think Chrysler altered the rear subframe for Chrysler 1970-1973 and Plymouth full size 1971-1973, but left Dodge alone. Not sure if Bilstein has an application for 71-73 Chrysler/Plymouth full size and at $240 per pair, expensive. I was discussing this in another thread with @Ripinator who is running Gabriel 81091. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/GAB-81091.
Is that my only new option or are you running something else? If so, what?
For anyone who is interested these are blowups of the pages from the 1988 KYB catalog. The cut off columns are for struts and cartridges, inapplicable. Many Thanks! Ben
