Quick question: 74 challenger leafs, do they use pads? I have a new set of leafs and hangers on the way with new bushings. Am getting ready to buy the reinforcement plates from Roseville and figured I'd get the pads from them as well. I can't findem on the website and none appear to be installed currently. Does a 74 Challenger roll sans pads?

:dunno:
What pads are you referring to?
Leaf springs come already assembled.
The leaf spring perch (pad?) is welded to the axle housing.
I don't recall any E Body using "pads" on the leaf springs, or maybe I'm not understanding what you're referring to ? :thinking: Do you have a picture of the pad ?
Maybe there are none or I'm asking the wrong question. Other cars I've owned have a pad or isolater between the leaf and the landing it sits on. I'm not seeing any on my challenger, maybe that's how it supposed to be? I'm used to seeing something like this on top and bottom of the leaf spring stack:

Thanks! :bigthumb:
Ahhhh yea those....now I get ya ! Pretty much a B Body thing I think... :brainiac:
Those started in 72 on all B bodies and then into the F, J M bodies. 72-76 E and A bodies never got them because they were going end of life.
