Beautiful car! Just curious - were you running air shocks?

That stinks ! .. why is the car sitting so low from a broken shock mount ??

My thoughts exactly.......

My thoughts exactly.......

Glad someone asked. But yes why?

 

[Johnpat]

Looks like it may be tubbed

Mopar upper shock mounts really aren't built and aren't strong enough to support the car. A common failure if you use air shocks.

Everone says that yet in my almost 40 years of mopars have never seen it.

True, but still won't cause the car to sag.... unless we're talking about a leaf spring mount here

same here, I have been through at least 20 pair myself alone , and in 30 years I've never seen it either.

 

[Dibbons]

I took my shocks completely off to sandblast, my car did not sag down at all.

 

[Officer Higgins]

Tell you what since your beautiful car is now damaged beyond reasonable repair. I am generously willing to give you 2000 bucks for it. Sounds fair right? Lol great looking car man hope nothing to hard to repair.

that q1 blue poly? Looks great

 

[vintage chromoly]

Maybe the OP is running a coil over rear suspension.

Refraining from the thought of coil overs.
