Rear springs

[bobafuzz]

I have a broken rear driver side spring. Where can I get some new ones? How much would it cost, labor and parts? Are OEM springs still available? TIA.

I last replaced a broken spring a couple of years ago and there was a fine supply at that time, according to the Ford person I talked to. They are cheap, though I do not remember the number.

I think I paid $50 a piece last summer from Torrie at fastpartsnetwork.com

A few months ago, I remember someone on the TCCA saying that the OEM SHO springs are starting to get really scarce, and that Torrie didn't have any left...

I think that was just the MAD/*** spring codes.

So, I went to the dealership and ordered a couple spring. I asked for JAR since the door code says MM55. I got the springs today, but they're not JAR they're HOT. I checked on V8SHO on the spring code page http://www.v8sho.com/SHO/SHOSpringCodes.htm, i don't see these being use on SHO. The load rate seems to be in between JAR and LET. Are these OK to use or should I look somewhere else for the right one? Dealership said blah blah something about this superseded the JAR springs so they should be the same. Thanks.

More than likely the only ones they are carrying. Ask what code they have for a SLO? I bet it is the same spring.

Would it be ok to put it on my car? Would it ride any different?

Do you have a choice?
