REAR SPRINGS ON RANGIE

(1/2) > >>

way2deep:
can anyone advise me please.do the rear springs on rangie(87)have rubber seats to sit in or do they just go straight to the chassis.cos after a play day i noticed both springs hanging out,i have put them back in but it seems to sit lower now :(

MUSKIE:
my old 1979 one didnt and my 1986 one doesnt, also my last 1989 efi didnt, so i am assuming that your 87 will not. i have just bought a set of dislocation cones for my recent rangie but havent fitted them yet, they worked a treat on my last one. you could always put some cable tyes or jubilee clips on as an instant fix to stop it happening again.

way2deep:
yeah guess so but why does it seem to sit lower.i'm confused,maybe best just to get new springs in  case these ones have got weak.would you agree

Bobtail:
there should be a round plate at the bottom they sit on
and a round seat at the top they sit in
also check your self leveler as it may be this that is causing the rear end to sag
sorry don't know too much about them maybe somebody on
here will know how to check them

yeah, i would get new springs, i have in my garage an old set of +1" rears and fronts which i took off my old rangie, they are rusty and nothing special but if you just want the rangie lifted up a bit at the back you could play about with fronts in rear etc. there yours free if you want them.
