| How many miles do you have?? What's the symptoms??
You SHOULDN'T need new ones already, unless they are defective. If it feels like it's sways alot cornering, you MIGHT want to consider springs AND shocks, OR just upgrade you're sway bars. But let's hear what the symptons are first before I jump to conclusions LoL |

| Adam, I think he is talking about his 1970 Chally. He forgot to mention that, if I'm not mistaking he has a Charger srt8 as his modern mopar _________________ "Don't talk about it, be about it" "Get in where you fit in"

| It might be hard to find OEM shocks for the Chally. For my '68 Firebird, I went with KYB shock and I liked them. If you really want to keep it original then you should do OEM but the search might take a while. |

| Ahhhh, ok ok.. LoL WELL, I would go with some good KYB's like Joe said. Cause IF you find OEM ones, they won't be an "upgraded" shock, they'll be the regular average shock, if you want a better feel and stuff like that, aftermarket is the way to go.
I know a LITTLE about older cars, I grew up with all older cars 79 Camaro, 82 stepside, and 80 Pinto (yes, a Pinto LoL), it's just been awhile. But yeah, I'd go with those, they are a reputable nam, been around for a long time. Other than those, none other pop into my head, UNLESS you maybe go to Summit, or Jegs and try them out? |

You should check with Tim @ Mr. Norms. That's part of what they do there. They have a ton of rare Mopar gems. I'm betting they can get anything you need. |
