Rear Leaf Spring Replacement

[Robert Schaad]

I just replaced my 72 Satellite springs, DCC-P4452982 from Summit racing. Easy as hell. I am 71 with a BAG of tools and no special equipment. Took me a day as I took my time in my Garage. Jacked up rear with tires just off the ground, Jacked up body to take off stress of the springs. Replaced one at a time. I am a very good home MOPAR mechanic i think. My car now sits great, and standard shocks work great. I say easy but remember, my car was a California car and spent time in Reno, NV. Very little rust and that helps things.

Sounds like something that would have made a good thread for this forum (with pics, of course!).
Congrats on the good job, sir.

Changed out my rear end housing and spring bushings on my 64 Fury this summer, came out very easily but you have to remember that the car was originally a California car and spent about 25 years in Las Vegas.
