I took the drums off, shoes, springs and stuff. I just don't know where the two small lower springs go for the shoes. Does anyone have a pic? I took one with my phone but thats no help. Thanks

Figure 18-7 in the Workshop manual shows exactly this.

Mine don't look a thing like that. :(. Also suzisport gave me the wrong timing belt. And pedders put a spacer in my rear bearings soo it wont clear the axle. Not a good day. But got the 3 leaf on the back. Thanks anyway.

Yeah, car is not soo bouncy in the rear. Need new shocks. They shouldnt be able to push by hand up right? I plan on having a big tool box in the back. So the 3 leaf seemed like a good option. Plus doesn't look as funny as having 1 leaf.

haha yeh, im planning on the same thing. and put the toolbox on rails. i think its more the return that tells you if the shocks are stuffed. push them in and then they should return at a decent speed and all the way back out.

Hi Guys,
Next job on my list is my rear drums!

Did you get the drum machined before you put in the new pads?
Also how much were the drum shoes and where did you get them from??

Cheers
