My 59 Plymouth Sport Fury was driving terribly (steering and
ride) since I bought it about 2 years ago. Replaced seals in pwr steering
box last summer, that improved steering about 50%. Rear leaft springs had
no arch left so replaced them this spring along with rear shocks, that improved
steering more and car rode better. Was going to replace front shocks at
same time but company sent wrong shocks so just got correct shocks last week,
installed them - car steered better and cornered better, no lean, but still
bumpy on bumps and tires would follow cracks, ruts, in road. Figured it
was the G78-14 wide whites that was doing it. Today took the P215/70-14's
off the parts car and for an experiment replaced the G78's with the radials and
the bumpy ride is gone and the steering is fintastic. The car is now fun
to drive. So IMHO radials are defiinitely the way to go with
59 Plymouth front ends, but like Mike Sealey implied, they might not work as
well on other FL cars with different front ends. John Z in
