My Stock 69 Cougar XR7 Coupe 351W FMX A/C needs leaf springs. The vendor near me only has a 5 leaf, 24 15/16, 34 3/16. What are the advantages and disadvantages with these springs for my car.
Also were 5 leaf used on all Eliminators or just ones with 428CJ’s?
No 5 leaf springs were used on Cougars 67 -70. I have listed multiple times the springs to use and place to buy them. Don’t try and use something for a Peterbuilt, Kenworth or?
You will NOT like the ride.
This vendor in my area has been around for decades. They were familiar with the difference in Cougar and Mustang leaf springs. They claim these springs were cataloged in their inventory as Cougar specific though not stock. Just concerned about a very rough ride with the 5 leaf. Thanks for the response.
The problem with lots of this info, incorrect when entered for print.
It took 10 years before books were corrected on front disc brake bearings 69 & 70! They had them switched!
Other things to consider, how many Cougars has this guy driven /owned?
Here you have hundreds of actual people who bought, installed parts & enjoy their Cats. Then add in the combined years of all those people and here ya are!
So, its totally upto you!
Heres a link to info
