But, is it located to compensate for
I've done some 'spring bending' over the years......it works if you don't mind the work but back then new springs weren't all that available unless you bought them from a stealership.
Could be....it's not attached.
I ended up having springs re arched locally with an added leaf many years ago. Ended up taking the extra leaf out. Done in 1991 car still sits nice.
Did you lubricate the muffler bearings?
I didn't go threw the stealer ship, I got the leafs from a local company that dealt with all springs from cars to transport trucks, and the price was cheap.
Never say never. I had bad wheel hop on my Duster with 1" under ESPO springs. Idk, maybe they weren't up to the challenge for the 408 and a 4-speed. Bought another set from them, this time standard height HD, and no more hop.
How long ago did you get them? Used to have a shop in Houston that did the same but they are long gone.....seems like there's not that many doing that kind of stuff anymore.
Depends on your current belief is.....or what does your buddies next door neighbor's cousin's sister's husband's brother-in law's nephew uses on his 1978 Yugo.....a synthetic grease or a standard NLG 2 OR 3 OR 4 OR a high temp matetial because they can run hot......the authoritative source for all things unimportant......
That's my go-to grease Bob.
BUT.......are the muffler bearings you prefer EITHER the tapered roller type or the straight cylindrical type you show in your pix or the "sealed for life" (whose life is never specified--yours or the bearing) GREEN style that some folks claim to be ideal solution for all their motoring needs? .......just a curious question......
These would be the green bearings.
C'mon Bob, you know that the Green Muffler bearings are to be avoided at all costs.
AMEN.......GREEN muffler bearings or GREEN bearings in general, are to be avoided at ALL costs for fear that your mufflers will fail and your wheels coming off......C'mon Bob, you know that the Green Muffler bearings are to be avoided at all costs.
Timken tapered roller are the best as they don't interfere with the harmonics of most popular brands of muffler.
Well, if you every plan on visiting Niagara Falls on Canadian side, look up Niagara Spring, less than a mile from the lower Bridge that links Canada to USA. In addition the biggest Mopar car Show ( MoparFest) in Canada, New Hamburg, Ontario is this August 18th. Well over a thousand cars from all over Canada n New York State, Michigan State.
