    Rear Shock Question

    Thanks, mate. I'm zeroing in on the QA-1s now. Question: The rears aren't supposed to have springs, correct?

    Rear Shock Question

    Not yet; I'm still going through my usual OCD phases with it. I'm trying to make sure that if I do this and select a certain pair, I don't change the stance of how she sits. The whole $$$ involved is, well, not for the wife's knowledge if I can get away with it, lol.

    Rear Shock Question

    Someone pointed out that I may have the wrong shocks (coiled) on the rear of my 76 TA. Sure enough, I checked the assembly manual, which isn't indicated. I've already been shopping around and saw some Koni ones, but I wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions or at least can identify WHY...

    Surface Area?

    A quick search shows this for Surface Area. That aside, you can add another 20% for inflation plus local differences. If you're in California, you're screwed.

    Wheel Spacers On 2nd Gen Trans Am With Stock Or +Sized Wheels?

    So, I went for a subtle size (half-inch) to fill things out a little but mostly to clear an e-Brake line. Yes, you will need new lugs (5/8 longer), and be prepared to hammer the hell out of the drum to get it off; otherwise, it's a piece of cake. Here's a setup comparison for those interested:

    I wished I had heard how she roared, but the music wasn't bad, and I have an active imagination, lol.

    Number Of Grease Fittings?

    Thanks! And you aren't lying; for my life, I still can't figure out how pretty red grease got out of the tube and onto the calf area of my pants, lol.

    Number Of Grease Fittings?

    Does anyone know the total number of grease fittings on the undercarriage of a 2nd Gen TA? So far, I count 7 up front (it seems that mine were painted over before my time, and my eyeballs are having to strain to find them all, lol).
