Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

Hi all
The bars ar the heavy duty model (27mm). I mixt up the length of the struts. They where 4 1/8". I cut them and welded them together with a length of 3 1/8". Now the car sits at 10 1/2" and the suspension is mutch better. The automatic leveling i rebuilt and now i understand wat riding a Packard is all about.
Tanks for all the input

Anders-55,

Good to know your TL is working. You have a nice looking car.



Craig, Rowdy,

The ride height in the service bulletin is based on bias-ply tires. What is the profile difference with radials? I am sure it can not be much.

I see the vendor selling the adjustable pins list just for 56. I know one of the big differences from 55 to 56 is the cup faces up on 55 and down for 56. They learned the cups held water in, and created the snap discussed in another bulletin.

Did the did the stud and cup surface or material change between 55 and 56?

Anders, for including your '55 Four Hundred Hardtop Coupe in the Packard Owners Registry.
