Moroso 70-74 Dodge Challenger 3 Way Adjustable Rear Drag Shock
The Moroso 26316 is a monotube gas-charged rear drag shock designed specifically for 1970-1974 Dodge Challengers. It provides precise control over suspension during drag strip launches by managing weight transfer from front to rear. Drag racers rely on its adjustable valving to plant the rear tires hard for improved traction and quicker elapsed times.
Key Features
- 3-Way Adjustability – Tune compression in two positions and rebound in three for custom damping settings
- Monotube Design – Larger oil capacity resists fade during repeated runs
- Gas Charged – Nitrogen prevents cavitation for consistent performance
- Deflective Disc Valving – Firm compression keeps rear end planted at launch
- Eyelet Mounts – Direct bolt-in fit to stock locations
- Silver Finish – Durable painted body resists corrosion
