Aldan double adjustables. Both stems are bent, drivers side severely so. Been on the car since 1998, only bent after sent to the jerks at Aldan. Mis-alignment bushings have plenty of movement.

Aldan shocks are JUNK.....period....I wouldn't even put them on a street rod.

Sorry for the lag,.. stupid job, gets in the way of posting on Moparts. They look like they bent after extending. The drivers side is so bad, it won't compress at all. As for Aldan. They were sold as an upgrade by Chassis Engineering in 1998, and seemed to work, UNTIL I sent them in for service. I got hosed after that.

The mystery solved! At least we know where the hook went. Are you planning on getting out this year yet?

Greg, you know me. If there is an available way to murk up a clear glass of water, I'll get it done. I'm hoping to try a time or two yet this year. The shock guy in Now Then has both sets. I should know some re$ult$ Tuesday.

If you want a video guy, give me a call. I could run the mustang, just for grins.
