Ok, so now that my car is re-build I see a major problem and have searched for the correct answer but have came up empty......and know someone here can assist. My rear spring is a medium arch transverse leaf, nothing changed as far as that goes from what was originally on it when I got it, but, that does not mean it was correct from the get go. From everything I have read the shackles should be at a 45 degree angle or there about once mounted. Mine on one side is and the other side sits with too much slack. So, I have been searching to find out how to measure what size spring I need but, everything I find speaks about the spring length and not the distance between the mounts. Is there a way to determine spring length from how far apart your mounts are? My mounts are at 46 1/2 center to center.
