leaf springs
 

my leaf springs in the back of the rear wheels come to a 90* angle
is that suppose to be?
what happenes if i take the bolt holdong them in and puch it up to the top of the thing that holds it will it lower the car?
or stop it from going up and down at 120 mph????


thx alot:(

When you say going up and down. You need shocks to stop that.

I don't know what bolt you're talking about.
Is it the shackle bolt??

If it is, it should be in front of the shackle itself. If it has been pulled down it is usually to overcome a weak spring.
If you put it where it belongs it should lower the car.

Sounds like the springs might of seen better days.

I think he may have one of those "adjustable shackles" that are kind of long and have multiple "adjustment holes" in them to compensate for worn out springs. They are of only limited "band aid" use.

Get new leaf springs and shocks and new shackles to really address this problem. Look at what's avaiable to decide what you need for your intended use.

Check Mustangs Plus or Canadian Mustangs for availablity and advice. I got my suspension stuff from Mustang Plus in CA. They race vintage Mustangs and seem to know what they're doing.
