Thanks for all the insight everyone. Edit: You know your quads are bad by removing them and seeing how much resistance you feel. I also like that you have (arguably) the best lower control arms on the market, clearly visible with your quad shocks installed.
AUTHORIZED DEALER (SAME DAY SHIPPING) FAST SHIPPING!! I'm trying to track down the mount that attaches to the frame. I have a Fox Body rear end, and I was looking at the page that lists out all the donor vehicle parts you need and it mentions the Quad Shocks with mounts.
I removed my quads when I replaced 6 of the 8 bushings in the rear with poly bushings and had to reinstall them because of the wheelhop. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding. There's a pretty good chance however you dont have a quad shock.

I really appreciate the info, guys. I put them on after dealing with some wheel hop issues last summer.

I wouldnt reccomend removing them. In the end it all depends on your setup but if you experience wheel hop you know what to do.

Agree with Robert and Rich, install 3 link during your initial build.
It's been a long time since I actually looked at a quad shock so I went to look again at Norm's pics. ever.

Use some good aftermarket lower control arms like the.

A forum community dedicated to Ford Mustang owners and enthusiasts. Do yourself a big favor, get ride of the 4 link and go to the 3 link.
They did this by damping out the axle's tendency to rotate during acceleration.
It is only used with the donor 4 link suspension.
Here are pictures from the manual and as installed on my car with the Koni coil over. Don't delete them, but a new set.
If anything the road/highway handling is improved. Something went wrong.
I built a 420 ci SBF for a friend and I would like to get his pile of junk out of my garage?

How to remove the differential from a 94 Mustang GT Coupe, 1991 Mustang GT SN95 5 Lug Conversion, Wheel Sizing and Offset Questions.

In my Mark III the conversion to 3 link eliminated issues I had with rear end binding too. Not sure pops and one of his friends helped me out here) and I experience slight wheel hop. Any thoughts would be welcome.
However the car does bite hard and traction is wonderful until the tires give. You can pick up non adjustable uppers and lowers for $140 from LMR. I don't know if I've seen a 7.5inch rear end that has them.

If you are, I have a set of mounts, modified with a clamping system to stop the spring from working loose and lowering your ride height that you can have. You can probably find a good used MAC set for $100 on different mustang forums. its what works,i have all solid bushing made from machine shop.i havent had wheelhop yet,but it sure isnt like using rubbers either.
Then put some wider rims and tires on.
With a solid bushing or rod end installed the obvious trade off is more noise transmitted into the chassis and the cost of replacement as the rod ends would have a much higher rate of wear.
No wheel hop either. I had really bad wheelhop just in street driving.
Get rid of the rubber bushings and you can get rid of the quad shocks.
They aren't called quad shocks that the store. Thanks!
What is the largest tire I can fit on the back of a fox body with the quad shocks?

Under acceleration, the pinion gear tries to climb the ring gear, because it can not, the forces rotate the front of the differential upward until the limit of the defection in the control arm bushing is reached, at that point the differential snaps back downward resulting in the dreaded wheel hop. There is nothing wrong with lift bars other than a plethora of misinformation about them.
lol.
My 88 GT had Steeda Aluminum LCA's, stock uppers and wheelhopped bad enough to break one of the parking lights without quads, with quads it was smooth. Removal does depend upon the total rear suspension package; it is an experiment.

Outside of Ford, none. Yes I still have a 4-link rear end but the Edelbrock uppers and MM lowers on my Stang have 3-piece urethane bushings on one end and spherical bearings (heim joints) on the other.
Upgrading your quad shocks while you're at it wont hurt, considering you're already upgrading everything else. 1994 GT. Any good solid lower and adjustable upper with good bushings (poly not rubber) will greatly impact how the rear of the car works. JavaScript is disabled. If you have decent aftermarket lower control arms, you can delete the quad shocks altogether. I've got Steeda uppers & lowers.
OK a buddy was driving my car the other day and he started doing a burnout and the car was wheel hopping a little bit.
's in one thread :shrug: I took mine off when I put my 275's on. Remove the quad shocks; if wheel hop persists, then reinstall.
A small $$$ increase for a big improvement in handling and ride. I haven't been to the track in forever so I don't care. I don't quite understand, but oh well. lol.
I had baad wheelhop with FRPP HD uppers/no quads. New Quads were a great improvement on my car. 1979 - 1995 (Fox, SN95.0, & 2.3L) -General/Talk-. View cart for details. Wheel hop is caused by differential housing rotation.
Ford only installed them as a bandaid to prevent wheel hop because the bushings on the stock control arms are so sh##e. PM me with your address if interested. You dont need quad shocks, get stiffer springs and you should be fine. What lower control arms, if any, do I need to use to be able to remove the quad shock on a 93 mustang?
I have Mega Bite Jr. Lowers and without the quad shocks have alot of wheel hop.

Traction got much better too.
Were changing our phone hours to 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM Pacific Time (Monday-Friday, excluding holidays) so we have more time to process orders and get them out to you. Ive been pricing everything and i came across quad shocks on american muscle.
I ditched the quads with my old suspension set up, then added fresh ones back to help the wheel hop. Eric. 100% AUTHENTIC! I replaced my quads with Koni ones that I found on E-bay cheap and the wheel hop went away.
In my opinion the 3-link is a big improvement for these cars.
I know a lot of folks say you don't need them BUT, they don't hurt and they will help eliminate a potential annoying condition.
Okay so if i replace just the lower control arm i need to keep my quad shock and maybe upgrade it as well, but if i go ahead and replace both of them i can get rid of the quad shock? - '92 5-sp LX coupe, TKO, 3.55s, pulleys, Al DS, 1-5/8 shorties, Magnaflow spun metallic cats, 2.5 Dynomax VT's, Pro5.0 w/ Steeda Comfort Pro, The Fora platform includes forum software by XenForo, http://www.napaonline.com/MasterPagription=Shock+Absorber+-+NAPA+Response+-+Rear, VerticalScope Inc., 111 Peter Street, Suite 600, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 2H1, Canada.
Put in quads, and the wheel hop was gone.
JavaScript is disabled. The increased road noise is do to the solid steel bushing inserts. Installation of most aftermarket rear lower control arms will usually eliminate enough of the deflection to allow removal of the quad shocks. I replaced my quads with Koni ones that I found on E-bay cheap and the wheel hop went away. I've been able to find the quad shocks on rockauto easy enough.
every parts store in the country has them, I know for a fact that Napa sells them because I just bought a set 2 months ago. The considerable amount of deflection allowed by the eight stock rubber rear control arm bushings of the Mustang four-link let the axle wind up, and then rotate back, in a cyclic manner. James, Take them off and put them in the trash. Dusting off this old but good collection of quotes: unless there is an elimination of the factory uppers due to the addition of a torque arm or panhard bar the quads should stay. So I'm still acquiring parts from a variety of sources instead of a single donor.
Most commonly called "quad shocks", these are also known as "axle dampers", "kicker shocks", and "kickers".
We discuss MK4, GTM, 818, Type 65 coupe, roadsters, and more! My goal for the build is as much building the car as it is learning about each section and how it all works together.
UMI says that in the description of the lift bars, in the link you posted.
i was one of the victims of the internet myth that when aftermarket control arms are added the quads should go. I have Granatelli/JD's performance arms and I had terrible wheel hop last time at the strip.
I'm going off of the Donor parts sheet in the manual FF sent me and it calls it out as something from the donor. What rear suspension are you planning?
Okay so ive been looking to upgrade my whole suspension because its got almost 150,000 miles on it and most of it is stock.
Just had to figure out the non-Ford term is an axle damper.

My 88 GT had Steeda Aluminum LCA's, stock uppers and wheelhopped bad enough to break one of the parking lights without quads, with quads it was smooth. So just trying to cover my bases ahead of time, It's the last thing on the list I need to find. I'm going to stick with the quad shocks for now. For more recent exchange rates, please use the.
morenpower helps keep wheel speed up and reduces hop. The axle end mount is a permanent welded on part of the axle housing.
Add me to the list - I put quad shocks back on my car last year after 15 years. Please be awareOur supply chain is suffering major pandemic-related disruptions. I had to modify the mount to move it rearward to gain clearance between the quad shock and the coil over. If you have decent aftermarket lower control arms, you can delete the quad shocks altogether. Well I found a track link kit from advanced suspension for $390.
Well at least I can speak from first hand experience.

Exactly the reason I kept mine, MFE knows his stuff and won't steer you wrong. The ears sticking up a couple of inches inside of the brake drum. MkII: 408 Dart block dry sump, Barry Grant 750cfm carb, G-Force T-5, black ceramic coated twister mufflers with shields and adjustable turn down tips, passenger roll bar, 3 link.
There is truth to both sides of the argument.
But I can't hear it over my 10 series. No I have a IRS unit in mine I just wanted to know what the quad shocks were for. Every car I've ever dealt with that hopped like mad, these things cured it.

On earlier IRS builds utilizing the T Bird knuckles unless you converted to urethane bushings you could experience wheel hop with big HP. I had zero wheel hop in my T-bird with stock control arms and very close to stock Mustang power. I had really bad wheelhop just in street driving.
You will still need the springs.

3 link greatly improves the ride and handling. If there isn't a substantial amount of resistance, they are bad.

Sorry about so many ? Please understand that were working as fast as we can to fill your orders. not the same thing at all. The quad shock mount is on the body of the donor car. But I still get some fishtailing when I drive irresponsibly--HA, so I just bought a set of Gabriel quads to replace my well-worn (108K miles) stockers---they DO make a difference.
This assumes the upper and lower control arm torque boxes are in good shape. i think mine are bad and cant find new ones. You do not want solid bushings anywhere in the rear suspension. If one were to go to solid bushings, IE, spherical rod ends, then pinion angle can be set to 0* as the differential housing is not rotating. I have a set of fully adjustable team z street beast control arms. I removed the quad shocks as they were completely worn out, I needed space for the nitto555 275 wide tires.
Because the differential housing rotates, this necessitates the use 1.5-2* of pinion down angle to prevent driveshaft u-joint bind under hard acceleration.
You may find a donor you don't have to take home. dont go lift bars, I wouldnt recommend poly bushings as they squeek. Put the quad shocks back on if you took them off or dont have them installed. I removed mine.
As long as you have the 4-link style rear end and it has ANY bushing deflection, which it will unless every mounting point is a heim joint, then you have the possibility of wheelhop under acceleration.
I tossed out my quad shocks months ago and I don't miss them. It works for some, and it doesn't work for others.
No idea on the part number.
