 Topic: 69 AMX Rear SuspensionPosted: Nov/13/2016 at 11:04am |

Hey guys looking to get some info, parts, or pictures with how the rear part of the leaf springs mount, my current resto had custom brackets made that heavy duty leaf springs mounted too the brackets were custom made 4" long probably to give it more height, it was converted to a drag car, I've tried researching it but no one seems to have a picture of what I'm looking for, I see they sell replacement shackles but I'd like to see how the rear part of the leaf spring mounts to the car. Thanks for any help.

Ryan,
A Tech Service Manual is your friend, find one, it has plenty of diagrams of the Javelin/AMX suspension. But to answer your question, the rear spring shackles mount to holes in the rear frame rail with a long bolt thru the spring shackle bushings. The bottom of the shackle mounts to the rear of the leaf spring with a similar bushing/bolt set up. American Parts Depot or Kennedy American sells the replacement shackles as well as the bolts and bushings. If you're within driving distance of Columbus, Indiana, I can lend you my TSM or you can look at my AMX's to see how they are supposed to look. Be prepared to leave a kidney as collateral! |
