I've got my 87' shelby z running perfect,now.......is the suspension on these things supposed to be very stiff,or is these struts bad,its worse than a vette,lol.

I dont think there that stiff, Is everything stock? It may be harsh because its older design wise and things are worn out

What colors are the struts?

 

[woodrow Z]

mine sat in a field for over ten years. And the front struts were totally locked up! I had no suspention. It was bad! I bet its those. It reminded me of driving a gokart. 99.999% sure its your struts.

If the dampers have become under damped then it will give you a very harsh rid. Worn and hard bushings can contribute to that. Then again, you can have them lock up completely like Z said.

the struts are black,and it feels as if theres no give there,I'm gonna put the $99 struts from autozone on it with new poly motor mounts soon,that should be alot better....right now its like a go-cart with no suspension.lol

thanks for the info,I'm replacing them.This car sat in a building a long time with a blowed head gasket.It is rust free and in mint condition,just needing the interior cleaned.I put a hew head and turbo on it,replaced all the vacuum lines,water pump and sensors,ect. I gave $100.00 for the car,lol. Then I bought an 86 and 87 parts cars with some decent body parts,with two complete motors with extra 87 z wheels for $150.00. I thought about selling it all,I'm an old v-8 mopar man but found out i really like the car,lol.thanks for the info
