64 rear 8 Leaf spring?
I just picked up my 64 coupe last month and I'm trying to shake out all the bugs.
I noticed the ride is very rough and bumpy. I put her on the lift and noticed I have QA1 single adjustment shocks with an 8 leaf, leaf spring?
Eight did I miss count?
Could this lead to my less than desirable ride? I have messed with the adjuster on the shocks but didn't seem to help much.
Thanks , TJ

I would change out the spring first, change one thing at a time and test drive. Having rebound adjustable shocks is usually a good thing but if you are still unhappy with the ride and assuming all the remaining components of the IRS are in good shape then I guess you could investigate shocks. Do you have a spare tire in the tub. On my 66 vert, I did notice that the added weight of the spare took some bounce out of the ride.
