AZhitman Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Could someone please take a few pics of their rear suspension and post them up? MIne appears to have an issue, but I'd like to see a "proper" one before I try to make any repairs or replace parts... Thanks all! Quote Link to comment
67411sss Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 what kind of issues? i put a 2" lowering block on one side and it ended up the same height as the other side without one:blink: leaf spring sag i think! Being a wagon does it have the reversed leaf? Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Reversed leaf - Yep! Looks quite odd. Maybe it's fine and I'm just paranoid. I *do* know she's due for shocks, the assend is pretty floaty. Quote Link to comment

Not sure on the sedan It's ugly and will remove it when I get a chance Quote Link to comment

I *do* know she's due for shocks, the assend is pretty floaty. Sears stocks a gas shock that is perfect for the 411. Has a lifetime guarantee to boot. Make them look it up, it's in the listing. I put a set, front and back, in my 1967 RL411 in 1970. Front unit split a rubber mount gasket in 1998, I had the sales slip [blew the shop manager's mind] so Sears replaced all 4 shocks at no charge. That's why you never throw away a sales slip for anything with a guarantee. Quote Link to comment
freaky510 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 now mine is slammed and i have airbaggs going in but this is what it looks like with out the baggs in Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Mike, thanks for the info! Any idea, perchance, what brand / model number they are? Freaky - That's exactly what I want to do with mine - Well, without the bags. Want to remove the reversed leaf and drop it 1" or so, since the tail site pretty high (front is dropped on Roadster springs). Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Mike, thanks for the info! Any idea, perchance, what brand / model number they are? "Brand "is Sears, who knows who relly manufactured them. I will have to dumpster dive in my glove box to get the work order and find the stocking numbers. Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 "Brand "is Sears, who knows who realy manufactured them. I will have to dumpster dive in my glove box to get the work order and find the stocking numbers. I replaced my shocks still under warranty December of 1996. The front shock's stock number [as I remember which was the front] is 02897570, the reference is "Roadhandler Performance Gas". The rears are P/N 02897601, the reference is "Roadhandler Performance, Replaced by 98201" which may mean something to the salesman. If he is really confused, the 1972 stock numbers were 79298 and 79289. [Yes, the originals did last 24 years.] Keep your receipts! Quote Link to comment
