TR6 Trying to put TR6 rear suspension back together

[crj7driver]

I am finally getting around to putting my restoration back together. I am trying to put the rear suspension back together and can’t remember how the springs go. I have Moss “racing suspension” which lowers the car, but for proper alignment they recommend using an aluminum spacer on the rear spring to achieve proper ride height. BTW, I had this suspension in the car for 5 years before tearing it apart.

So my question is do run the aluminum spacer directly on the trailing arms, then the rubber cushion to the spring or do I put the rubber cushion on the trailing arm, then the aluminum spacer and then the spring directly on the spacer.

Thanks for any and all help. It is amazing how I can’t remember how things were on the car after 1.5 years.

If your springs are the same height as Goodparts springs, and you like the car to sit a little lower and are running a lower profile tire, you can forget the spacers. You can adjust the camber with the existing stock mounting brackets or get the adjustable brackets from Goodparts.
With the stock brackets, you may have to get the third bracket that your car didn't have. The stock brackets either had 1, 2, or 3 lumps on the angled side. Early cars used the 1 and 2 lumpers while the later cars used 1 and 3's.
