Out driving last week and I broke a leaf spring on the right rear. The top bar sheared about 3 to 4 inches back from the forward attach point. It broke clean and straight across and makes a heck of a racket and handling is poor.
I'm know nothing about suspension and handling but need suggestions on repairing the problem. If I can invest a few more bucks and improve handling from standard I'm willing to do that.
I'm looking at replacing both rear springs and wonder if the Moss replacement # 851-195 is adequate or is it better to upgrade to the 851-180 "competition" spring for $80 more. I do like to drive it a vigorously.
I will also be replacing the bush set in the front and rear with urethane and silent block products. What is the rear axle locator kit 674-478 about and what effect will it have on ride, handling? Is it worth $80?
Is there a better source for suspension parts? I'm shopping between TRF, Moss, and Victoria British currently.
