I bought a Camaro RS 68 and I've just found out it has three leaves on one side of the rear suspension and only one leaf on the other. I would like to know which is the correct number of leaves for the original model.

I would like to know which is the correct number of leaves for the original model. fleecerdog Mar 29th, 99, 04:39 PM I was told that 67s had single leaf and 68s had 3 leaf. Just as a kicker ... I was under the impression that 67s had coil springs ... or was this just firetirds??? ViCar Apr 9th, 99, 01:19 PM Thanks a lot Scooter Apr 9th, 99, 04:42 PM Coil springs????????? Fleecedog, where did you come from???????? Coil springs didn't come out until 82!!! And where did you get firetird from???? Are you a FORD geek, or what??????? ViCar, please be careful who you are taking advise from. I'm not sure where fleecerdog is coming from, but I'm quite sure he isn't a GM or a Camaro Guru like most people in here are. I would question anyone that rips on any fellow GM products. Just my opinion.

It sounds like someones bad idea to fix a wheel hop problem.I'd go with a new three leaf set up Dave Birdwell Apr 16th, 99, 12:43 PM Well, here is the right answer. All 67's had monoleaf springs. All 68's and 69's had monoleaf EXCEPT the Z/28, which had 4 leaves, and the SS cars, which had 5 leaves. There were no 3 leaf springs, and if the car had one type on one side, the other one matched it. ViCar Apr 17th, 99, 01:00 PM Thanks a lot. I've already bought a set of monoleaf to match the one i had. I'm glad I didn't buy a three leaf set. rs this Apr 19th, 99, 01:52 PM dave your right my mistake, wasn't paying attention. sorry if i misguided anyone |
