suspension is just blown all over...Help

I feel every single bump in the road and the car bounces like crazy and sways over uneven road surfaces...If I just replace the shocks and struts will that give me a nice new car ride? or are the other components I should look into getting? because this is startin to **** me off

The bad thing with letting your shocks get that bad is the stress that weak shocks put on the rest of the front end. After my wife and i got together i started working on her camaro. It still had the original shocks on it !!!!! we got married in 95' the car is an 84 . I ended up having to change the shocks,inner and outer tie rod ends,idler arm and install spring helpers to the rearend. Your ride should improve with new shocks depending on the damage to your front end new shocks and get it alinged.

I'm doing the shocks and struts on mine as well. Both struts are completely blown, and the its out of alignment.

I went with KYB GR2 struts, and Gas-adjust shocks for the rear.
