MAR 66 Metuchen Leaf Springs
« on: April 18, 2011, 11:15:16 AM »
I have the C4ZA-M's, I think.  I'll know for sure after lunch.
Does my smaller leaf have a white or silver stripe?

Bryan,

You might want to look at the discussion here:

I believe both 6 cylinder and C-code coupes both used the same 610 lb. springs.

Now I looked and I have the C4ZA5556N springs.  Were all springs assembled in the same plant? 
My car is NJ built.  One of the short leafs soaked on Evap-O-Rust and no marks popped out.  The other one in soaking now.

Looks like just a green dot? No evidence of a stripe...yet!
