Hello everyone,

Hi, this is my first time on this forum, please bare with me. I have a 90 zr1 with a broken rear leaf spring, questions.
1 are they fiberglass?
2 did they have trouble failing?
3 my car has 9300 pampered miles on it

thanks in advance,
lonnie:)

1) Yes they are a fiberglass composite.
2) No, typically they fail due to cleaning chemicals getting on them.

And welcome to the forum.

I have a used one if your interested. It's off a '91.
Make an offer and I'll take it. They are super light with regard to shipping, but kind of an awkward shape.

Welcome to the forum.

Excellent first post. Sorry you have problems though. Looks like you have been taken care of though.

And the rear transverse leaf spring isn't as difficult to work on
as the front spring. Consider coil overs?

any cleaner with acid eats right though them (i.e. deep purple etc)
