Hi All, it's almost 5 years ago when I take my charger a part for a bolt-off restoration. Now I'm lost with my trunk lid springs. I can't find the right way to place them. I tried every combination i could think about but, I just can't figure out how the correct way should be. Could someone please post me some pics of how it should be mounted. I hope to get a quick response because of the paint that is wasted now by trying combinations.

Thanks!

Just a thought, do your (1969s) have the rubber tube thingy (1970s) have on the rod so they don't rattle?

It's part of the California N95 Code. Which some call a ECS, Evaporative Control System among other names. Consist of 4 tubes coming out of top of gas tank into this trunk tube, consist of others parts also but thats the short version. LEON.

Was the whole setup put in the car befor paint?

Are the plasic sliders on the hinges body colored or did they just received a shot of spray over from being already in place when the car went in the paintbooth?

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...

The plastic sliders (yellowish/white) blocks seem to be sprayed with body color from factory.
My guess is that over the years and the grease, the paint falls off.

I see one trunk torsion spring bar (rod) in the hole closest to rear of car, and one trunk torsion spring bar (rod) in the closest to the front of car, would this make for uneven tension lift on the trunk?
Well now, the pictures did not move down to here :brickwall:.
