Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train nova mono springs

will the newer 3 leaf springs mount the same as mono springs on a 63 nova? "no mod"

They will Mount yes BUT THE spring perch/mount on the axle is not deep enough for a multi spring ALSO the T studs WILL NEED to be Changed. I have seen guys just add the multi springs and only change the T studs. BUT I DON"T FEEL THATS THE SAFE WAY TO GO ABOUT IT. hope this helps.}[oooooo]

thank you! better look into it befor I get springs.

Back a few years, I found a wrecked Nova wagon with a heavy duty set of mono leaf springs. Went great under my SS. So you need to scrour the wrecking yards for that wagon or sedan with the heavy duty setup. These were factory mono leaves but really thick at the axle and really stiff. Good luck.

You can buy replacement mono springs for you Nova also.

I also never go back the studs. I re-insatll the rear end with u-bolts. Some of the factory performance Camaros & Novas Came with one u-bolt on each side but I perfer 2 on each side. My 2 cents---Paul

You can buy these leafs new at jcwhitney.com i have heard they are ruff though. I would either find a spring and axle place and have them rearched for about 200 bucks. Or what i did on myu 63 nova was i put helper springs on. and they work great. just make sure you cut the u bolts down once they are installed as the bolts they give are long and will cause damage to the fuel filler tube if you dont. Best twenty five dollar fix I can remember. Some of the guys on the site may not like them but I cant say enough about them. My ride is now nice and tight but not to harsh just like i like it. Plus they look kinda tuff under there. And you cant beat the $25 pricetag either.
