REAR SPRINGS FOR A1

Unread post by eflexter » July 7th, 2016, 12:50 pm

My M151 A1 sits up so high in the back it's really obvious. Rear tires are canted in at the bottom like it wants to float away. Either wrong springs or heavy duty springs are installed though they look original.

I'm looking for regular rear springs.

Before you start buying new ones, go here and read this post:-

Note the dimensions of the A1 springs in that post, then compare the data to your current springs. You may already have the correct springs.

And check to see if it has the correct rear shocks since they are what limits the suspension travel.

Let me know when you determine the length you need. I have two that are shorter.
