Default 55 t-bird




I recently purtchased a very nicely restored 55 thunder bird. My complaint is is is extremely hard riding. The quality of the ride ranks somewhere below that of a 1941 Jeep. Does anyone have any ideas what I should be looking for. The shocks are new and the springs were replaced by the former owner.

i would ask the previous owner what springs he used, sounds like he installed heavy duty springs, the t birds in those yrs 55 56 57 rode real soft some times to soft werent the best handiling cars

I have a 57 T-Bird and the ride is more on the soft side,the spring rate on your car must be wrong.Also what kind of shocks are on the car?I put a set of gas shocks on mine and there great.
