71 Torino Coil Spring Replacement Question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hey. I'm about to change out my coil springs on my 71 Torino 500 4 Door Sedan. I forgot to buy the Coil Spring pads/insulators. I've been researching and have come across a couple of options for these. I can't tell which one I need. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I should use (one looks like a rubber bushing and the other one has more of a plastic pulley look to it). I've included a couple of links to Summit Racing and their pictures are in this thread. Any suggestions or links to what you have used would be greatly appreciated.

	Go to Dearborne and buy the exact reproductions for about $20.00 They fit right and you will not have to modify them to work. Greg

	Hey Greg, I actually found them on eBay. Got the right ones and they went in perfect. Thanks for the reply.
