[roddy70]

Hi all,
i have a question for you..
I would know what is the part under the leaf-spring of my 70 RR.
what is it?
is it a factory?
how can I replace it?

thanks and regards

It looks like an old Lakewood traction bar and by all means get rid of it.... get a set of caltracks and some new u bolts yuck!

i would say get rid of it too, but it looks like it replaced the lower plate that the shock bolts to.

Yeah, that's not original... scrap that traction bar ... get a set of new U-bolts & nuts.

I have some how misplaced my mopar monthy and rely solely on it to answer questions having never owned a mopar or even seen one before.... but the cal track has the plate...

Thanks to all for your response!

what is the name of piece with shocks absorber attack?

shock mounting plates are what you need, Mancini sells all the hardware. The springs you can get from many places.. PST is a site sponsor and sells them.

Those where high tech back in the 70's, had them on my GTX when I bought it.

Here's a picture of some used ones that I bought. You can do a search and find them new, or wait for them here.
