30 years ago, they sold shocks called "4-way" that had push/pull springs on them...
Do they still sell these?  (I think they acted like an anti-roll bar, in part.)
Wouldn't they (or big anti roll bars) help with 'side wind' pushing?




Thank you very much,

I won't buy KYB GR-2 shocks again. I put a pair on the front and 5 years
later they were out of gas.


I replaced them with Bilsteins- much better ride than the KYB.
