Suspension, Steering, Brakes, Wheels & Tires / I can't find/purchase Front Springs
« Last post by Evenprime on December 13, 2024, 01:17:51 AM »
So I've been searching for front springs for my 1984 AMC Eagle.

The only site I have found is AMCLIVES but when I price it out, it goes from $434 USD = $614 CAD (Im in Canada = ouch)
but when I put it in the cart it comes out to $2,434. I assume this has something to do with the shipping to Canada.

Anyway, I reached out to a local company Vancouver Axle and Springs, and they said they cannot make them unless I bring mine in so they can inspect and 'may' be able to make them.

Why is this so difficult?

I have a broken spring, and I'm replacing the entire suspension but trying to stay as stock as possible but I cannot for the life of me find someone who can get me a set of springs.

I seen the KennedyAmerican site but it looks shady. Has anyone had luck with them?

I'm expecting to pay a pretty penny for this, especially considering the import fees to bring them into Canada, but honestly at this point I just want a set, but $2400 is crazy

Visitors and Guests / Re: Nice to meet you from the Netherlands!

Hi! Fantastic info from all of you, thank you very much!

I ordered brake hoses and all bushings from Rockauto, and already received them! The fact that getting parts from the US to the Netherlands in four days, including a weekend, is unbelievable to me, but I'm happy work on the suspension can continue.

For the spring perch bushings I'm going to use the John Elle method with these Energy Suspension bushings:

... how would you build your Eagle?
I actually like a lot of things about my Eagle. If money were no object, I would put lockers in both axles, swap in an AX-15, an Edelbrock 4.0 head with the 6=8 intake and a 4bbl carburetor, a better cam, a set of Jeep turbine wheels, and a proper receiver hitch.

It's entirely possible that's the case.

Maddog. That makes me wonder if maybe it was a popular aftermarket one, maybe distributed by Sears or something.

I have seen other eagles with the same hitch as mine as well as the one on MJ's, so it's hard to say whether mine is aftermarket or not but it definitely feels like it is with as many washers as they have on the underside of it. :o

Other than meeting with another member here a few years ago, ( he has 3 or 4) very rare, once every other year or so. First one in probably 2 yards was this past July in or near Liberal Kansas when I was riding my motorcycle back from Las Vegas.
1 near Cheyanne WY 3 years ago.

The one near Liberal, KS is the one I saw too. Brown station wagon. I think the town was Meade, but I don’t remember for sure.
