| At the top, the tie bar mount is considerably bigger than a stocker. To make up for the additional beef, you’ll need to use mount bolts that are 0.250-inch longer than stock. And yes, the tie bar is held in place by way of snap rings and encased in a high-density (hard) urethane bushing. |

| As pointed out earlier, the back shocks are double adjustables – there are external settings available for both bump and rebound. We’ll get into the adjustment process next issue. |
These shocks are designed as a bolt-in application for street or strip. Strange offers these shocks for a large array of Chevy and other GM applications, as well as various Mopars along with specialty shocks for later model Mustangs:
They have shocks designed to fit Camaros from 1967 through 2002, Chevelles, Malibus and Monte Carlos from 1964 through 1983, Chevy II’s (and Novas) from 1962 through 1979 and full size Chevys from 1955 through to 1996. Obviously, GM twins from other corporate families will also accept the shocks (we’re using the Malibu-Monte Carlo shocks in a project Regal).
On the Mopar front, the Strange catalog includes shocks for first generation Challengers, 1965-1976 “B” bodies (Coronet, Charger, Belvedere) and “A” bodies from 1962-1976 (Darts, Barracudas, Swingers, Dusters, etc.).
There’s more too: Strange also offers bolt-in shocks for a ’87-‘04 Mustangs (strut style front and conventional rear). Aside from the steel Mustang shocks, the other versions are all based upon an aluminum billet body. Not only are the shocks light, they’re robust and equally important, rebuildable. The whole concept behind them though, was to provide an easy-to-adjust shock that bolts in place on stock style suspension cars.
For a closer look at single and double adjustable bolt-in shocks for stock style suspension systems, check out the following photos. And stay tuned. Next issue, we’ll look at how to adjust them.
