I have a couple of questions ,that perhaps you might know the > answers too. This involves the rear suspension components I wish to change. > I recently purchased a set of brand new heavy duty 5 leaf rear springs and a > set of shocks for my car. First the spring question. The previous owner made > a set of homemade shackles to compensate for the badly sagging springs. The > distance from the frame bushing to the shackle ( Spring ) bushing is about 7 > inches. I know when I put on the new springs the car will be on a awful > rake. What should the distance ( factory ) between the frame and shackle ( > spring ) bushing be ? Any help would be appreciated. The second question > is about rear shock location. On my car, the shocks are mounted behind the > axle ,with the bayonet end up in the axle tunnel. I noticed on some other > Javelins and AMX's , the shocks are located in front of the axle with the > bayonet end accessible from the rubber plugs inside the trunk. My car has > both locations available to me. Which is the proper location that I should > have them, or does it even make a difference as to which location to use. > Again ,any suggestions you can make would be helpful.
