Apologies if this is the wrong area, I haven?t seen a stamp like this on the leaf springs, can I get some help? Thanks in advance

Stampings look like service replacement ones that I've seen

If I remember right, these cross-reference to the handling package/GT cars.  Nice OEM replacement if you have the correct lower leaf with proper stampings for your car and dates.


Should be able to look up the # in the Ford MPC.

Unless Im mistaken and never seen this, none of the original assembly line leaf springs ever had a Ford oval stamped in them.

That was my concern, while it appears to be a Ford part I?ve never seen a Ford logo in my limited experience
