Title: Front suspension bottom spacers size?
Post by: Rex Pirie on October 14, 2024, 07:52:53 AM
Hi all,
I'm replacing the front springs on my 1972 1600 Junior with some from Alfaholics and find that the spring pans and spacers are so badly corroded that I can't tell whether the original spacers are the 7mm or 10mm versions.
Any advice on what they are likely to be? / should be?

Hi Rex

Just fit the new springs without the Spacers and evaluate.

Evaluate means,,which side is lower than the other.
If one side is 7 or 10 mm lower,,add the shim to that side.
