Rear Leaf Springs & related hardware



Dan,

I would just buy the new leaf springs from "Springs and Things".  I thought 
that they were very reasonable.  I usually torch off the "u-bolts" and front 
eye bolt, sometimes the shackles come apart easily.  Sometimes I use a cutting 
wheel instead of the torch.  "Springs and Things" had all the hardware to 
complete this job, and I had them send it to me.  (I believe that they also 
sell 
new rear suspension "lateral links" for the Imperial, with new bushings 
installed)   I don't remember for sure, but I thought that I paid around $300 
for new 
springs, u-bolts, eye-bolts, shackles, and shipping.  I was quoted about $500 
locally for wholesale on springs alone!

The job is actually fairly pleasant to do, if you are using new parts to put 
it back together.

Good luck,

Jeff
