Well i started to replace the rear suspension on my 74 nova because it fell all loose and sloppy. I ordered all new bushings. New leaf springs and new shocks. I noticed the drivers side was leaning a little so i decided to start on that side first. Turns out when i finished taking off the Leaf spring it was cracked in almost two!:eek: Boy im glad i caught that in time. lol Just thought I'd share my story with y'all. Peace out!

Who did you buy the new leafs from and were they replacements or did you drop it some?

Sorry but my shackle bushings are long gone. I basically destroyed them trying to remove them to put my new ones in. They were not in good shape anyways.
