Alfa had equipment on shock absorbers. The issue was the requirements, the requirements (TTTs) were changed and resulted in Victor-II, you can really see it in the "рекомендации к проектированию подводной лодки в малошумном исполнении" (1971) and ВАХ-68->ВАХ-74 requirements for onboard equipment.

So the long term shift (and such studies as project 991 that resulted in Akulas) well predate the walker scandal.
