Spring clamps

Post by OKCSweptline »

Hey guys. I'm needing some help. I am cleaning up my leaf springs (painting them and putting new spacers in). There are two "clamps" on each side of the stack that helps hold the springs together (I would assume). When taking those off, I broke the tabs that you have to bend back. I've searched around and can't find any like those. Any idea where I can get a few?

Oh, and are the ones on the rear the same? If so, I should probably get some of those too. I didn't think to look while I was at home to see why they looked like.

Thanks

I don't know of one around here...

I guess I didn't look very hard yesterday, because I found some. Little bit different style but it should work. They are the Rancho 2.5" spring clips. Got them from summit.

Count how many springs the clamp goes around and look to the cars. On my D100 the spring clamps and pads ended up being exactly the same as an A or B Body.

Thanks for the help guys. I ended up getting some from summit that I missed in my first search for them.
