What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
I finally got my Hotchkis A body springs yesterday.
I ordered them in January!
Today I removed the current SS springs from the car.
Went to install new springs...supplied bushings I can't get on old shackle shaft.
The holes are smaller by a bit and old shackle has corrosion attached to both bolt shafts.
I cleaned them up with file and sandpaper, but no dice.
Ordered new shackles.
Mounting bracket that came with springs is wider than stock. Spring moves sideways abt 1/4 to 3/8 of inch.
I don't think that's right.
Tried to find Hotchkis ph number but can't get into there website. I went there yesterday and was able to download instructions.
Well I will try again tomorrow.
