No. Front springs don't interchange.
68 is trunnion suspension, 70-up uses upper control arm. Spring seats are different. Rear springs should interchange.

Buzzman72...void where prohibited, your mileage may vary, objects in mirror may be closer than they appear, and alcohol may intensify any side effects.

Rear springs do not interchange either, from '70 to '68-9. Different size bushing and bolt in front, perhaps other differences I'm not aware of. |

The front bushing is larger ID in 70+ but you can machine a spacer tube and then it will work for 68-9. |

Link to Eaton's web page. You may wish to contact them directly for any additional information, but if you go under applications (3rd from the left inside the blue colored line) near the top of the page, you can choose "American Motors". There are listings for every combination of engine for 68 Javelins/AMXs Good luck

I forgot to mention, I've bought from Eaton and found them to be an excellent supplier. They have been in business forever.

Yes buy the leafs from Eaton. If you get them from apd like I did you will have to take them back out and chuck them and buy again from Eaton anyways.
