Matching Mounting Plates to springs


Marsh

Recommended Posts

Hi all, just took my 323 for a WOF and have been told my rear spring plate? (mounting plates that the shockie bolts to) are wrong for the diff that's in it. I have no clue what the diff is from, is there anywhere that sells them, or an easy way to find the right ones?

is the problem that the u bolts are on the piss? or does it not fit in some other way?

 

straightening the u bolts is easy enough, loosen them off, get a f clamp and clamp the bolts together til they are straight, do them up again.

 

sometimes you can do it by hand or with a hammer, just tap them straight then re tighten

This photo might make it clearer, U bolts are sitting in the factory bump stops.

Im going to try slot them out but I need 15mm or so. Other bet is to go to the wreckers and have a hunt unless anyone has an idea/set of what the're meant to be
