Re: [Chrysler300] Rear spring rebuild - 300H

["Dave Schwandt" <finsruskw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The front bushing I believe is called the "silent block"
The rear rubber bushings are readily available as well as the rear hangers.

You may be able to just replace the broken/cracked (if there are any) leaves 
and get the correct height by adding a leaf. I think the originals may be at 
the point where they would break if one tried to re-arch them. Your call at 
any rate.
