I seem to also remember marking, or there were indentations on the springs as to where exactly the axle is to be remounted. Making sure everything is in the same position. You will see that when you get new front and rear bushings from steele, they will get chewed up within a year or so, if you drive the vehicle on a somewhat regular basis. Their rubber might be a bit softer than original. Thanks for the information on the spacers. Will check out the delrin lead.
I believe also noted the springs left, right and which way was towards the front, again to make sure everything went back together as removed.
As seen in the pictures, if you get a lead on the rubber for the brackets please let me know. I suppose could make a mold and use some Flexane. But Flexane is expensive, and as I remember you need to use the whole bottle withing a short period of time.
