I posted this under the Technical: Suspensions folder but have gotten no responses. Come 'on - someone must have some advice! What do you guys use? I gotta fix this bearing plate soon so I need to get my parts. Does anyone know if the GTC already has the "best" sway bar and springs? Figured I'd try here, maybe this area gets more traffic?
=========================
Car is my 92 Lebaron GTC T1.
Well, it looks like my clunking sound everytime I hit a bump is probably my strut bearing plate, and since my struts/shocks look original (115K miles) now's a good time to change them.
I'm thinking KYB Gas-a-justs in the rear, but what's recommended for the front struts? Looking to improve the handling. Also, where's the best (cheapest) place to get the KYBs?
Any advice on the bearing plates? I read in a thread here to avoid the aftermarket and get some from the Mopar Parts dept? Something about the rubber being too thick on the aftermarkets?
I'm looking to keep a stock Mopar production spring rather than Eibachs. Getting old and I'm liking the factory ride vs the harshness of Eibachs although I wouldn't mind dropping maybe a 1/2" in height. Do the GTCs already have the stiffest springs and largest sway bars from factory? Are the Daytonas (maybe IROCs) any better or does the GTC have the same?
Thanks for any advice.
