Rear springs: rubber pads.

Postby peterheywood52573 » Fri Mar 31, 2023 5:00 pm

My car is currently off the ground with the exhaust removed. Would it be an opportunity to replace the rear spring rubber pads? I am torn between getting the car driveable again, and making improvements.
The car is a bit lob-sided. The rubber pads are full of a redish grease.
In the manual it only looks like a few bolts.

Hello Peter,

four bolts per pad, don't forget there is also a pad at the front which is held by a cover with two bolts and a screw. That however is under spring tension I would think even if the car is supported by the body.
