Rear Spring Install
I am getting ready to reinstall my rear spring.It is a composite spring when I took it apart there was a thick rubber hard cushion between the spring and the rearend and there was only a very very thin what looked like a 1/8th thick strip of rubber between the spring and the rear spring mounting plate. My question is when I look in the Ecklers catalog it looks like there is a thick hard rubber cushion on both sides of the composite spring. I purchased the bolt and bushing kit for the outter sides of the springs I dont see those pads for sale in the catalog.

When I connected up the mounting plate with the thick hard rubber pad and put a piece of thick softer rubber like was in there when I took it off of the car in the lower place like was in there the mounting plate bolts bottomed out before the plate tightened up to the spring. I think Bubba worked on my car before I owned it.
