I am in the process of working on my rear suspension and am wondering about an issue with the rotted rebound straps.
I am planning on converting to a V6 and would like a solid rear end before I start that process. As I inspect my rear suspension I see the straps are shredded and rotted. I am replacing the bushings and rubber wraps on the spring binders and am contemplating modifying from the Armstrong’s to shocks. I’m not sure of the value in that, though I’ve read many posts that rave about it.
If I modified the suspension from Armstrong’s to shocks would that mean I would no longer need the rebound straps? I may have found some rebound straps to purchase from a different site, but they are made for a different car and I’m not sure of the fit.
I’m not really sure what is necessary, but I have the car up on Jack’s and have removed a leaf spring already and figure I’d like to do it right since I am going to the trouble…
your advice is appreciated.
