Re: Problems with Self-Leveling Schocks 700 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul Demeo on  Fri Aug 10 08:49 CST 2001 [RELATED]

ONLY if the car is a live axle 760.

An 89 probably has IRS Multilink suspension, for which replacing the Nivomats isn't as simple: You've got to change the springs (but nobody makes them, you've got to take IPD 240 overload coils and cut the pigtails off) and then there's the fact that nobody makes shocks that will directly bolt in where the IRS Nivomats go. They have a unique lower mounting bracket that will require some fabrication to duplicate or carry over to the new shock.

The link below is Jon Belmont's excellent description of the work required:
