Title: Rear leaf spring 37 LaSalle 37-50
Post by: dirkdaddy on January 09, 2013, 05:09:29 PM
In going over the car, I found that I have two different leaf springs. I consulted the book and one is correct, the one with a groove in the leaf and tapered ends.  I am not sure what year the other spring is, but it has leafs that do not taper, and the ends are angle cut. The problem is that the car is 3/4" taller on one side. I can have the springs re-arched the same hopefully, but wondering if anyone has some extra springs out there?   :P

Well today I took the springs to a local shop and they think they can make the existing springs equal in terms of height and spring rate, so I think I am good. I wanted to get matching OEM springs, but this is easier for the moment, and I doubt anyone would notice/care since it took me a good while to notice they were different!  ::)
