Title says it all. I THINK the Street Duster has SS springs, but I'd like to verify and make sure before I do some planned swapping around. |

Does it set crooked? Cocked towards the passenger side? Any chance there are numbers left on the springs? Rick |

It doesn't really appear to sit crooked. I'll crawl up under there and look a little closer at things. I thought there was a different leaf count or clamp arrangement on the SS springs. |

I think the SS springs do twist the car towards the passengers side a little bit. Also the SS spring eye bolt was larger than the stock 72 swinger springs Tell me what you have Rob and I can look at Ryan's Dart. That is what he has on his car Rick |

Numbers should be stamped(not painted on) into the spring pac near the mounting pad. Look for a 002 on one 003 on the other. that is the most common for a A-body like a Duster, 3000 lbs. 863/864 2800lbs, 456/457 3400 lbs. |

OOps, Should have said U-bolt mounting pad. |

That is the correct numbers, but Ryan's came in with the numbers stenciled, painted , on the springs. They may be stamped too but I'd have to check. Rick |

Sometimes I forget how many years we been doing this.Some have both paint and embossed, some just paint. Went and looked at the newest ones bought (about 2006) and they were painted.
