steering rack TCI Lowering Leaf spring kit with hangers & shocks Ford 8. The Moog blocks and the blocks from NAPA are all the same. These mounting pads are a necessity when installing coil springs into Mustang. Make sure to use that bolt on the dampener, or it will be a pain to put it all back together.Īccording to Federal-Mogul Moog, you can leave the pad in the pocket of spindle, but remove the pad from the spring, and then you can put the blocks on top of the pad. It's a big chunk of rubber that sits beside the lower strut. The long bolt that comes with the rear struts is used for the auxiliary spring dampener. I read that you are going to change your struts too. I do think the rubber pads might dampen tire noise better than the blocks, but with good quality tires that are not over inflated I don't think it matters much. I am happy with the plastic block insulators on my Cutlass.
Got the new blocks installed, and I have been clunk free. With new struts installed, the clunking was exactly the same with no change. I had a lot of clunking noise coming from the rear, so I replaced the rear struts because one of those was bad anyway. I just recently had the plastic blocks installed on my 92 Cutlass because there was not one trace of rubber pad ever being on the leaf spring ends. I think the pads would be better since that's the way the car was designed, and there have been reports of the blocks wearing on the ends of the leaf spring. Just replace the old rubber pads with new rubber pads, or you can just use the blocks.
