Quick facts
- Part: MOOG Chassis Products 5401 coil spring set
- Fits: 1968-1969 Pontiac GTO and other vehicles
- Position: Rear
Worn or sagging coil springs can cause premature tire wear because of misalignment. If the rear sits low, or one side sits lower than the other, find the cause before ordering: with the car parked on level ground and the engine off, look the springs over for cracks or broken coils, since other suspension wear can also change ride height.
Fits
This set is listed for a wide range of Pontiac and Oldsmobile models, including the 1968-1969 Pontiac GTO, the 1967-1972 Pontiac LeMans and the 1967-1970 Pontiac Tempest.
