Reverse eye spring for stock shackles
Hello. I'm looking for a reverse eye front main spring that will have the correct sized eyes in order to work with the stock shackles and steel bushings. Does anyone know who might make these? Thanks, Jim

Re: Reverse eye spring for stock shackles
Front or back?, I recurved my front mainspring myself to reverse the eyes. Pretty simple process if you have a press. You don't need much of a press to do it.

Re: Reverse eye spring for stock shackles
Sorry, I should have stated that. Front spring. I tried to recurve the stock one and it didn't work. That's why I'm looking for a new one. Thanks, Jim

"A" Springs will make you one. He made a rear reversed eye main leaf for me.

Posie super slider reversed eye worked well for me and greatly improved the ride IMO.

Did you replace the main leaf or get a complete new spring?

Re: Reverse eye spring for stock shackles
I bought the whole spring. The super slider has a cup on the end of each leaf with a teflon (I think) insert. That is what makes them slide. I got mine direct from Posie. http://www.posiesrodsandcustoms.com but they are available from all the other dealers including Pete and Jakes, who I would go to again as they are great people to work with.

I ordered one from Snyder's Antique Auto Parts that fit and functions very well.
Part number: A-5310-RE Cost in the $2017 Catalog is: $147.00 Good Day! |

Re: Reverse eye spring for stock shackles
How well I remember prying apart Chrysler-Plymouth springs & replacing the pads ! Made a GREAT difference in the RIDE! It was quite EASY to do.
