Back in 1976 when I had my first Duster a quick solution for the sagging leaf springs was a pair of Monroe air shocks which worked great with me . but I just read an article which was a bit negative on the handling qualities . Any thoughts as I,m thinking of doing the same on my newly purchased Duster .

I would go for a new set of springs or have yours re arched and fit a fresh pair of shocks rather than use air shocks IMHO.

Sort your springs,air shocks will take out the rear crossmember that the shocks bolt to.

thanks for that .. would,nt have known .

Hi Ian.
New here ? Welcome.
Good to start a new member thread to help us get to know you and your car. Plans for it etc.
oh. And lots of pics please.

Yes new here ..Thanks for the welcome . I bought Don Scott,s gold duster a few weeks back , at the moment it has the slant 6 , 225ci , I,m looking to put a 318 in . Interior as well as body and paint needs doing but overall pretty solid .

Fantastic. I love that car.
Look forward to seeing its progress , and one day seeing it.

link on how to modify leaf springs. borrowed the link from Retrorides but a simple jig and bottle jack looks like a great idea for DIY spring modification.

hello there , great looking car

Welcome mate, love the car!

Thanks for the comments lads . I know Dusters are not everyone,s taste . Just looking at the picture that rear 14" wheel looks so little and skinny . I know it has discs on front and drums on back . I,ll have to take a look and see 4 or 5 stud ? Can anyone recommend the best place for wheels , I,m thinking cragar,s

Double check the bolt pattern - 5 x 4" (7/16" stud) or 5 x 4.5" (1/2" Stud).

As a later car you may be in luck as 4" PCD wheels are in limited supply.......

Cool car I had a couple of dusters and some darts too, great cars to tinker with,

and the air shock as mentioned ,you wont like the ride/handling, I had them for a road trip and promptly removed them when I got home.
