Hello all I'm doing a lot now to get my car together. When I'm in the car by my self I have never had a problem but a good friend of mine came in town so there I was bragging about my old car gaining Value wile our friends with the new cars only loose value. so we go for a ride and when we made that first rt turn a very loud bad sound so I got out to see what it was and the tire had pulled the edge of the fender down ( that sucks I will get the fenders rolled ).
I do think I need to replace the shocks and springs after that day I got some of those spring spacers that you put on with a ratchet I had some of the ones that are made of rubber but I could not get them in I lifted the car and used a strut tool to compress some of the coils but just could not get them in.
How do I know what to replace or should I just do both as they are from 1969?
My thing is that I have had some contact with a bad set of shocks my Dad had an old Lincoln town car and it rode great but when the shocks went out that thing went up and down like a ship at high seas! My car does not do that.
The springs I admit are sitting a little low (which I really like the looks)
Please help with choices to fix the this problem the rims (see my picture) are 14" the tire size is P 215/70R14 96S M+S Its a 69 sports roof.
