Nova Rear Suspension Upgrades

The Love gets new rear leaf springs, shackles rubber pads & QA1 shocks.
This video shows some of the obstacles removing the old springs and the information can be used on 68-74 Nova's, Camaro's & Firebirds. The shock mount a little different in Camaro's & Firebirds.

Always enjoy seeing your videos and the Nova's progress.
Im impressed at how clean and unrusted the hardware was.

Good job Mike Nova sits nice I prefer the multi leaf apposed to the mono left and did the same on my 67 firebird

[@Nova.1971]

Thanks Gary I have been wanting to do this for a while and like how it sets. With the adjustable shocks I should be able to tune in the ride and with the QA1 in the front this completes the suspension. Maybe a rear sway bar but well will see. Thanks for watching and your support.

Yeah, I was just looking at you. Trying to pry your leaf Spring off the bolt. You should've just jacked up the leafs Spring where the bolt is and release the pressure on the bolt with the Jack.

Ya what you learn after the job is done.....but it was fun to get it done...... Thanks for watching.

[@SuperBanana45]

[@TheChibitodd]

Fak get those body bushings out and some polyurethane in that car!!! Cheap mod that improves every part of the car! Some long sub frame connectors. They are life changing.

[@Nova.1971]

Yes at some point I will have to do that for sure...thanks for watching.

[@vintageaudioreview]

Looked like fun, but I am surprised you wear your watch, which looks like a nice one, while playing mechanic....

[@Nova.1971]

It's a pretty strong watch for sure LOL, and the job was fun doing it with my son..Thanks for watching Scott.

@@Nova.1971 If I change my oil, my Garmin watch comes off...😁

[@Nova.1971]

@@vintageaudioreview some jobs the watch comes off for oil changes yes… but in Canada it’s cold so we have long sleeves on in the winter and the shop is at 60f so for the most part it’s pretty protected.

@@Nova.1971 Yes, that make sense- your pellet heater is doing a great job to keep things at 60!
