Default Re: Mopar Suspension

Chris:
Our Mopars with leaf springs ( prior to Calvert Bars ), due to shortness of front
leaf segment and pinion angle, often looked like an elevator when they left the line.
The short/stiff front spring segment worked like a traction bar. A lot of the time
racers would remove all the rear clamps (Behind Axle Housing) which made the
rear springs separate and feather out. For safety you should probably have
the bottom spring clamped to at least second spring. I loved all the monkey motion,
BUT Calverts are much lighte/adjustable/resistant to marginal track surfaces!
Looking forward to seeing you again.
