Rear springs?

[Colorado220]

I am having troubles finding the rear springs for my 1971 220 Diesel. Can anyone help me??

If the problem with your rear springs is "sag", then Fastlane carries the needed shims (rubber pads) to bring it back to the proper height.

The springs are also shot, yes it has sag but it wouldn't shock me if the springs were original...

You would have to call Phil to see if these are front or rear springs.

These specifically say they are for the rear.

I prefer to buy my parts from Phil if it's an option. Awesome service and all around good guy.

Those are front, I tried that first..... He is a great person to work with no doubt

I agree, the first link is for front springs but the second link says rear springs and they look different from the first.

Before you condemn the springs, look closely at your subframe bushings.

MB springs rarely go bad, rubber bushings on the other hand.....

I planned on doing those also, but after 38 years I bet they are worn some
