Quad Shocks

[SteveSkal]

Whats the opinion on these. Do most of you leave these, if not do you experience wheel hop, if you keep them are there any good aftermarket ones? Just curious, I wasn't even sure the SN95's even had them until I pulled my rear wheels off for the first time yesterday. On my last Fox Body I took them off when I put Mega-Byte Jr lower control arms on.

i'm not sure when you can take them off? I think if you do lower control arms and some good shocks you can but i really don't know.

Get some MM RLCA and then you can ditch them....

 

[SRT Handz]

You can only remove them with MM LCAs.

....even though i have MM LCAs, I still keep my quad shock.... They dont do anything bad so IMO they need to stay

i just took mine off we are installing all of my upr suspension stuff i think i will be safe

Aftermarket lower control arms do not resolve the fundamental flaw in the design of the rear suspension. The quad shocks are there to dampen the effects of axle bind. Simply have a nice set of RLCAs will not prevent axle bind.

Although most folks disagree, IMHO the quad shocks should remain until such time as the upper control arms are removed.

they're there to correct a bad suspension design on the part of ford... they stop axle hop and from all ive seen and read you should be fine to remove them after you swap LCA's because after that all they're doing is slowing the suspensions reaction time so yes, they can do "bad things"

when can you remove uppercontrol arms? with a panhard bar or torque arm or something?

Yep, you need to have something else other than upper control arms to keep the axle from rotating, and moving from side to side.

Mine are going to be removed when I have the MM Torque Arm Package installed next year.
