Guest nevarmore Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 ok guys, im starting to figure out how much work ive got ahead of me on my lincoln this summer. This is a 1965 Lincoln Continental, and i have air shocks and leaf springs. One of the bands that holds my left rear leaf springs together popped off when the jack slipped as i was attempting to replace the shocks (yes attempting. the previous owner welded the lower mounting bolt to the bracket instead of bolting it there ). Can i just have that band replaced or do i need to replace the whole spring? Is the car safe to drive with that band off? I've had enough problems dealing with this on my own im going to pay a pro to do it. Does anyone know about how much i can expect replacing the shocks and springs to cost? Thank you very much for your help, i hope to get this car to one of the weekend meets this summer. graemlins/gives.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 614Streets Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 You can install the clips yourself using a c-clamp and hammer or yes a shop can easily do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nevarmore Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 SWEET! Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help. Thats a big relief. I was pricing springs fargain $400 a pair. Mods, my question was answered, so i dunno if you want to lock this or what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
