New shocks will make a world of difference, especially if your Corona has 20 year old shocks.

Shockers as suggested, or tramp rods to reduce the leaf spring bind (not sure they're legal though).

Tramp rods are bad bad bad!!! They do all sorts of "interesting" things to the car's roll centre. Definitely only for high-powered drag cars; keep them off your street car. And yes they are illegal.

Isn't the RT104 Corona a coil spring rear end? So the use of tramp rods is out of the question anyway.

personally I wouldnt just stop at changing the shocks either or youll end up going thru a new set of shocks every six months if the springs have lost thier beef so get some new ones...while youre at it do the front end as well, I find youre always better off to do a complete package even if you have to save for a few more months to do it

RT104's definitely have cart springs.
