    Quick Question: Rear U-Bolt Size

    Hey everyone. It's been a while. I find myself at work and I'm hoping to find out from someone the U-bolt dimensions for the rear (5) leaf springs on my 1980 Volare wagon. I want to order my new springs, bushings, and bolts, but just need to know the size. Given that it's a wagon with the 8...

    Water leak into passenger side floor

    This has been driving me a bit nuts so I'm hoping someone might have had this experience. I realized it during the late winter when I was installing my stereo cables beneath the passenger carpet. There was a shallow ice block in the front passenger floor pan. At that time, given the season, I...
