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.

- Gas Charged – Nitrogen prevents cavitation for consistent performance
