Features, Description, Q&A, Specs & Installation
Restored Rear Support. The EATON Detroit Spring Leaf Spring is built to bring back proper ride height control and stable suspension response when original springs have fatigued or lost their arch. As an OE compatible and comparable direct replacement for Ecklers Legacy Number 64-48240 and Macs Legacy/Ecklers OEM Number DOOZ-5560, it supports a restoration approach that stays true to factory intent instead of guessing with generic parts. Intended for 1970 Ford Fairlane models and 1970 Ford Torino models, this single spring delivers dependable support and helps the rear suspension feel composed again.
Construction and Appearance. Crafted from high-quality SAE 5160 spring steel, this leaf spring is engineered to handle repeated compression cycles and sustained loads while maintaining consistent arch and strength. Built using the stock blueprints, it focuses on correct geometry and predictable rate behavior for long-term durability. The matte black finish provides a clean, understated look and adds surface protection against corrosion and everyday wear, helping the spring maintain a restoration-friendly appearance through regular use.
Installation. Designed as a direct replacement, this leaf spring supports a straightforward and versatile installation using factory-style mounting locations and existing suspension interfaces. The adaptable design allows you to position the spring accurately, start hardware evenly, and then torque fasteners in sequence for stable seating. After installation, checking shackle movement, verifying bushing condition, and confirming ride height symmetry helps ensure consistent performance and a secure setup on your vehicle.
Application. This EATON Detroit Spring Leaf Spring fits 1970 Ford Fairlane models and 1970 Ford Torino models. It helps restore rear suspension stability and proper stance, improving ride consistency and keeping handling feel predictable for everyday driving and cruising.
