Rear leaf springs


Recommended Posts

Interesting observation. Is it? A picture would be useful.

I thought spring leaves were symmetrically placed and springs ideally paired.

I know from discussion with Paul Richardson, that Ken Richardson made a big deal with the “works cars” of ensuring spring rates were properly matched. Apparently cars from the production line could have interesting behaviour as a result of poorly matched springs.

Thats correct they are slightly biased towards the front by 1 1/2" I would think this would be to counteract axle wind up under acceleration.

The originals also had an extra short bit of spring on the passenger side. I did not see that on my new repro springs.

Export to USA only to level the car up when single person occupied.
