Sagging SHO

[93MTXSHO_STUD]

my rear end is sagging really bad, its been a slow thing, im thinking its the struts in the rear that are bad but not for sure. Just wanted some advice on this? Struts? or Springs? If so I was thinking on the monroe sensa-trac? Are these good?

yes for a good replacement stock strut...

and yes that is why the rear is sagging.... shot struts.....

you might want to check out Moog Cargo Coils for springs... they are better than stock, but still retain the stock height.. but the front would need some cutting... depenging on ATX or MTX... since you have an MTX, i would say 1 coil... but others have had to cut more... IIRC.
or you could go all out... Tokicos/eibach----- koni/intrax... or vise versa...

thats just the start.... there are very good threads on suspension related items... a search would set you straight, in the direction that you want to go... stock, slightly better than stock, or all out....



EDIT: were are you at in texas???

Bad struts do not cause saggy rear ends. Bad coils do.

For an economical route, check my sig.

is there anyway to test and see if my springs or struts are bad? like i pushed on the back and it bounced back like 1.5 times

They are bad if they bounce. Struts anyway, sagging will be springs.

Yes. Agree with the above I do. Sagging springs are common on these cars. Moog coils are the cheaper oem style way to go with an oem type of aftermarket strut. With the droop and the bounce you likely need to replace both at this point. You can get better springs and struts like an Eibach/Intrax and Tokico/Koni but you will have to shell out many more shekles.
