Front Coil Springs

Need to replace the front springs on the Torino ( along with a total suspension rebuild ). Any suggestions?

Are you wanting to lower it, stiffen-up the ride or ?? I ask because I lowered my Ranchero by cutting and trying 3 different sets of front coils. I ended up with '98 F150 front coils installed after cutting 5/8 of a coil, the coils use .812" thick spring steel. Moog #6446, 9012 or 80090 (Crown Vic police interceptor replacement spring), are all possible candidates.

Need to replace the worn out Morosos for max lift. Lookin at some roller spring perches and loosening it up.

I should have asked what year your Torino is. '72-'76 models have a inner coil spring diameter of 4.03", that said you can go here http://www.moogproblemsolver.com/moog/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/MOOG_Coil_Springs_Spec.pdf , to find an appropriate spring. The chart was really useful when I was looking for an alternative coil spring, giving overall length, spring end identification, wire diameter and spring rates. As a reference, Moog #9012 replaces the coil spring in mid 70's Lincoln Mark IV's with 460/C6 & AC. I hope this helps. Todd

Yeah it's a 71 . The perches are worn out . No telling what else I'll find when I tear into it.

Have you found any roller perches that will work? They sound pretty slick. I have a feeling I'll have to dig into my front suspension soon.

Yeah, a couple guys are selling them.. single and double roller. Open tracker is one of em .Cant remember the other. . If you disconnect the shock at the upper bracket and lift the front of the car you can see how the shock gets in a bad bind...both of my shocks were broken where it connects to the spring perch.. I'm not gonna run it until I get the good parts on it.

I had the aluminum QA1's on mine and broke the bottom on mine also. I put travel limiters on it for now until I get my AJE front end.

Not sure what I'm gonna do yet..I'll be tearing it apart soon and see what needs to be replaced..

Yep I need those, thanks dave.
