Did Chrysler install 1 or 2 plates for the spring hangers on the Hemi powered cars? I'm only aware that 1 plate was used between the hanger and support. Was there a second plate used in front of the support?

There's two per side of car(4 altogether). One on the front side and one on the backside of the mounting area.

And Hemi cars also got a small metal square washer on the front lower control arm bump stop.

Did all the 15 inch wheel cars get that?

I'd think that they'd be harder to find if it was only a Hemi thing.

Hemi cars also had a pinion snubber reinforcement welded to the floor right?

Only guessing, but I would think it would be a 15" wheel thing?

I can not remember seeing a special plate?  But maybe?   :notsure:  I will take a look next time I'm under the body of one.
