I bought new shocks for my 1980 Malibu at a local parts store..The shocks raised the body about 3 to 4 inches to high..What happened??Has to be wrong shocks..Anyone been through same thing?.I seen a malibu years ago sitting the same way..
Hey there,thanks for the reply..I got the shocks at Autozone 4 years ago..I threw away all the packaging and stored them with other parts until I were ready to install them..so now I don't remember what brand they were,part numbers either...I bought ac delco shocks for my 1986 El Camino off ebay and they are perfect as original.....I think I'm screwed autozone ordered the wrong shocks...Any other advice or help is very appreciated,thanksIt's kinda unusual to have new gas shocks raise a vehicle that much. My recollections of using KYB gas ad-just shocks, it did raise the vehicle a minute amount, nothing that drastic.
What brand are these shocks?
Will the suspension compress at all?I bought new shocks for my 1980 Malibu at a local parts store..The shocks raised the body about 3 to 4 inches to high..What happened??Has to be wrong shocks..Anyone been through same thing?.I seen a malibu years ago sitting the same way..
Some times when you jack up your car, then lower it might sit high. Drive it around the block and should go back to a normal ride height.I bought new shocks for my 1980 Malibu at a local parts store..The shocks raised the body about 3 to 4 inches to high..What happened??Has to be wrong shocks..Anyone been through same thing?.I seen a malibu years ago sitting the same way..
