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 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??? |

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. [This message has been edited by Scooter (edited 04-09-99).] |

since no one answered your question; 68"s came with both a single leaf and a three leaf set up but not on oppisite sides. It sounds like someones bad idea to fix a wheel hop problem.I'd go with a new three leaf set up

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.

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.
