What can I expect by upgrading the front suspension on my 68? I want a smoother ride, but want to retain the same stock ride height. I want to eliminate bump steer and I want the car to be more responsive when steering. It seems to have a lot of play in the wheel in stock form. I'm considering one of the many tubular A-arm/coil over conversions with a rack and pinion kit. Will this make a noticable difference or would I be better served spending this money on the interior, motor, or some other aspect of the car. I have a long list of things I want to do with this car and the front suspension is one of the main things on the list. Thanks of your opinions/advice

Also, what manufacturers do you recommend?

 

if you make your 68 ride ,handle ,and feel like your 06 then you`ve taken away some of the allure of owning a muscle/pony car .. put your money in the looks and performance end .. nobody will ever ask you how well it " corners " but this is the view of an old street/drag racer ..

 

I understand where you're coming from and I don't expect it to handle like my 06. I just want it to handle a little better than it does.

 

I would suggest refreshing all of the bushings in the front, Idler arm, and get a front end allignment...new tires maybe too. I did all of that and it made a ton of difference.

 

what suspension do you have now? is it stock?

what condition is it in?

 

bone stock
