[FC] <VV> FC Transverse Spring

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Hello Lonny,
 
Thanks for the reply.
 
I wasn't specific enough with my posting.  Yes, I agree  that the transverse 
spring took up some of the car's load but the right and left  springs were 
different from each other on the '64s but not earlier cars with no  transverse 
springs.  Why the difference from right to left was my real  question.  The 
follow on question would be .... Do I need to modify the  right vs. left springs 
on my FC if I add the after market transverse spring or  was it designed to 
eliminate this need?
 
Doc

I'm  pretty sure that the rear coil springs were changed in '64 because the  
transverse leaf carried part of the load. I don't know what mods would be  
needed to add a transverse spring to an FC suspension - when it's done on a  car 
they generally change everything over to the '64 including the  transaxle.
