rear spring fix?
I have searched and read, my rear spring's rubber insulators in the center ( the ones bonded to the spring ) are half gone.
The shims are missing as well. From previous owners receipts, they were made aware of this 4 years and 10,000 miles ago and never fixed it.
This is for a '87 convt.
The 4 spring end links are good, not great - but good
The shims I will find or make. Got the p/n's and thicknesses from previous posts (Thank You) But it is the center rubber insulators.
Do I need to buy the entire rear spring to get the center rubber insulators?
I have seen other fixes, however those were posts quite a while back.
Either those companies are no longer in business or they have changed contact information.
Any help would be appreciated.

OP - where are you located? I have an NYR that was part of a parts bundle I purchased from an individual that had 'spares' for everything used on his project. This is out of the box from one of the 're-sellers' I'm in 25414 zip and if you were close I'd consider a sale. I don't believe I'm interested in shipping. I believe that 'verts generally were fitted with RCA . Through the years the rates have been debated. NYR and RCA should be easy to research.
PM or use email link to message me if you're close and interested.

70466, it would be a bit of a drive.
Thanks though.
Upon further inspection half the bushings need to be replaced, the other half are just plum worn out.
I needed more to do, my life had all that extra free time any way
