ding ding ding!!! the original shocks were mounted on the same side of the axle and the cars had horrible wheel hop, to solve the problem GM had a recall to mount a torque arm/traction bar on the right side to alleviate the problem, in 68 they staggered the shocks and went to multi leaf and the problem was solved.
you are up dennis!
