Want a simple fix for your leaf Springs for better handling? You don't have to ditch your leaf spring rear suspension on your classic car or truck for some fancy multi link setup or try and retrofit a Panhard bar or watts link. Global West suspension makes a solution to your sloppy leaf spring handling through the use of their Del a Lum kit. The kit replaces your worn out rubber bushings with a combination of aluminum and Delrin bushings that are built to last and fully greaseable. This was the ticket on my 1964 Mercury Comet after I found my rear tires would rub the inner fenders during hard cornering. With the new parts from Open Tracker Racing and Global West my 60 year old car now handles the turns with confidence!
