Rear suspension 140-160 1973

posted by  someone claiming to be David Schmidt on  Sun Dec 2 15:29 CST 2001 [RELATED]

My 1973 145 has begun to sag quite noticeably in the rear even with no load. I have no idea when the suspension was last worked on so I ordered new shocks (I have yet to install the front ones) but can't find new coil springs for the back. Eventually I would like to replace the front springs as well but the rears are a little more pressing since I have to haul almost everything I own from Boise, Idaho to Ames, Iowa in a few weeks. I know ipd has overload springs for my wagon but I'd rather get the standard replacements- they suggested having a local shop make up new ones but that sounds pretty spendy. Any other ideas for replacing the rear coil springs?

Thanks for any help,

Dave

Boise, Idaho
