I looked for this earlier, but was unable to find. Does anyone have a source of specs for leaf springs for a '73 Grabber? Specifically, am looking for the front eye bore diameter and also the shackle specs. Am trying to find the specs to see if the Del A Lum bushing kits that Global West sells will work on my car. They do not sell the kits specifically for Mavericks, but another Ford or Mercury product may fit if I can find accurate specs. If I can find specs without taking the whole thing apart, that would be great!
According to the Master Parts Catalog the front leaf spring bushing is part number C4DZ-5781-C Same part used on 64-70 Falcon, Mustang small block up to '69, 65-71 Fairlane, 75-79 Granada, 71-73 Pinto
Back in 2015, I purchased Global West Del-a-Lum bushings, front eye is same as 65-70 Mustangs (RB82) and you use the rear shackle set up from 67-70 Cougars, which are 1" diameter here is the complete leaf spring kit, which has both front eye and rear shackle, well worth it! http://search.store.yahoo.net/yhst-...x=0&y=0&.autodone=https://www.globalwest.net/ Since then, I have worked with Doug at Global and now have their "spherical bearing" set up on my leaf springs.... PM me if you need more information etc........ David
I worked with Doug at Global West and I had a new main leaf made to install this set up.......... David
