It takes more than just new springs to achieve better handling. Replacing just the springs and reusing the old eye bolts, bushings, u-bolts and shackles is just doing half a job. While they may look OK, those parts are just as old and worn as the springs you replaced.
Using the old eye bolts, bushings and u-bolts may not allow the new springs to perform as they should. In fact re-using the old parts can place undue stress on the new springs.
Old U-bolts can not achieve and maintain the correct torque.
Rubber can be dry and cracked.
Threads on the shackles can be stripped.
Do your car and you a favor and replace those old parts.
Not only are the parts available separately, we have complete Installation Kits available. One Installation Kit includes all necessary hardware to install one pair of leaf springs.
