Hello all,

Having trouble locating the original part numbers for front and rear coil springs for both my 71 442s. Can someone please post original part numbers for the springs for the 71 442? Please post both A/C and non-A/C spring part numbers if available.

Also, are there insulators for the top of the front springs. From the parts manual it's showing a "shim", but looks like an insulator or where the insulator should be.

Front;
Without A/C ; 400333
with A/C ; 400997

Rear with or without A/C ; 9792801

The parts manual is a ' typical " illustration .
There is no listing for a "shim" or insulator for 1971 F-85 or 442

Got a PM last night saying to look in the Assembly manual for part numbers, Group 3, page 90. I would have never guessed this information would be in there, but I am new to knowing where to find all this information. Thanks Don, I appreciate the help!! Knowing is more than half the battle.

Looks like the front springs for A/C cars is p/n 400337 and non-A/C cars is 400334 and the rear is 9792801.

The p/n 400333 looks like its for a Supreme without A/C and the p/n 400997 is for 1970 Supreme, Cutlass Convertible, and 442 convertible with A/C. Just wanted to post the correct information.
