Re: Rear leaf spring
1) Yes they are a fiberglass composite.
2) No, typically they fail due to cleaning chemicals getting on them. And welcome to the forum. |

Re: Rear leaf spring
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. Rick =) |

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

Re: Rear leaf spring
any cleaner with acid eats right though them (i.e. deep purple etc)
