Default Rear Composite Spring Cushion

Yes Sir: I would like to replace the rear composite spring cushion ( Center ) on my G.M. original 1982 rear spring. Who's cushion fits, since G.M. on longer has them. Thanks up front! I Appreciate. Gene

Check with vb&p.................... they sell replacements for the ones they sell. They might fit the originals.

Muskegon Brake should have what your looking for. I think the VBP center mounts are different since they use a low arch, thick spring vs the stock style which is a high arch and thin.
