Ybody spring/suspension configuration So, how the heck are these springs oriented in the Y-body. I'm curious to see how the leaf springs sit, how the shock mounts, etc, but my car is too low to look under right now and my camaro is using my ramps/stands right now.
Is it one leaf for the front, one for the back, or one per wheel? Are the front and rear leafs the same rate?
Pictures would be nice as well if anybody has em. Thanks <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Re: Ybody spring/suspension configuration One across each "axle." The spring rates vary front to rear and among the different suspension options.
