[68 Firebird]

Took my car for a ride the other day and the rear felt VERY harsh. Granted the
rear has always been a tad stiff but this was horrible.
Tried to push down and rear bumper and would not budge.
Removed the Gabriel shocks to investigate and found the leaf springs worked very nicely without shocks installed. Tried to compress the Gabriel Ultra G shocks and one was locked
up solid and the other would only compress 3 inches before lockup.

These were only 2 years old and about 1500 miles.
Luckily I still had receipt from Autozone and they honored the limited warranty and
new units resolved issue.

What shocks are you running as I no longer trust the Gabriel units?
Yes the car sits a lot but this should not be the norm. The fronts feel
fine and were also replaced 2 years ago!!

Just like all parts I would rather by the right units(quality) then keep having
issues every so often.
