Hi all, this is a first time post for me, I have had a look about and cannot seem to find an introduction area so here goes. I am in Australia and have a 1964 Electra 4 door. I am loving it, but the back end is sacked out. I have spent a lot of time trying to find replacement rear springs. Does any one have a part number, or a cross reference from another model or even anything which may help? I do not need to jack up the car, just stock replacement would do. Thank you in advance.
I bought mine from CARS the part number is CS350R. My car is a convertible but they should be the same.
The 1961 - 1964 BUICK Full Size REAR Coil Springs have been DISCONTINUED through all regular channels -- and ESPO Springs & Things KNOWS WHAT they are -- but they have decided NOT to make them -- tooling up for them is too expensive to justify too few sales..... cars uses a "generic part number" that means absolutely nothing to the REAL coil spring world..... I keep 1 set in stock -- because no one else does -- but they are pricey.... and then, you are in Australia...... they are heavy, too --- do you have anyone here in the United States????
I have tried all the above and after some days seem to have located a pair at "autozone", but I am having some issues dealing with them due to being in Oz. If you ( mobile parts123) have some which you are sure will fit, can you shoot me a price? What is "pricey"? Our $ is low so anything seems dear at the moment . We used to have two springmakers here in Sth Aust, but they have both folded due to folk buying cheap imports. At the risk of seeming stupid, what is CARS? I googled it with predictable results. Thank you all for your responses.
Ok,cool. I looked on cars and they do list the CS350R, Does this definately fit? Have you fitted yours to the convertible yet? I will check the site again to find prices etc. Thanks again.
I got a set for my 63 from CARS a few years back and they were spot on. They are made elsewhere and drop shipped so you might yet have issues with the shipping.
