1973 Barracuda Rear Shock replacement video

JunkYardFind · February 20, 2021, 07:20:19 PM

Just posted another JunkYard TV video on replacing the rear shocks on my 73 Cuda. It's just a quick basic vid but I did run into a bit of trouble getting one of the shocks off the upper mount :/ Check it out here if you want....

Nice video, did you always have dual exhausts?

@Those
I believe it originally had the stock manifolds into a single exhaust pipe, hence the single mount on the pass side.
I have had headers on for a long time, pretty much since I bought the car in 1991. Put TTI ceramic coated headers on about 10 years ago. They are great!

Good call, looks suspicious to me too

Wow, Thanks for the warning. I wish I were more in tune to that stuff. I read about half the post and skipped the rest.

Oh man, NOT cool!
Wish I would have seen it. I would try to trace it back and mess with them

Did the shock access point in the trunk originally have plug covers?

Yes, they are available aftermarket.
