Front Shocks Recomendation

[RustyRatRod]

The Monroe’s that are mentioned are the usual monro-matic blue shocks. I ordered a new rear pair (31131) for the Scamp last month. The chain parts store had them in stock; not sure what the fuss is about them no longer being available.

My local oreilly doesn't even show them in the system anymore. They are available online, though. That's what I have on mine front and rear.

Guys at the shop caught the respiratory "Bug" like I did for 2+ weeks; so I just got the 67 Barracuda back today.
While they were installing a new (proper) master cylinder, I had them go ahead and instally the Monroe shocks also.

1. All the rattles that I had up front on semi-rough streets are GONE! Glad it wasn't other suspension part noise; as the control arms had been replaced.
It seemed to me like a had a lot less sway on curves also.

2. Put new guts in the replacement master cylinder as well, and now have good strong resistence in the pedal.

**Once the weather warms up a little, I will try to tackle the front sway bar myself.

With enough money left over to do some fine wine and dinning with the lady.
