x32548123569023562

 

but i got my last 3 sets from rockauto for 1/2 napa's price.

Ken you have pictures of these installed? I have to install new tip pads on a monoleaf I got lying around for my new lumina that is missing both sides. Noisy as hell!

This might be a good time to mention that i'm making my own leaf end pads out of commercial floor tile and epoxy. Surprisingly hard yet flexible. I can have the ride height I want based on how many strips I use.

 

Ghetto yes, but for $0.59 a tile?

I can beat that ghetto fix. When my Cutlass tossed the left square urinal puck-looking end block i just took a piece of wood of the same thickness, cut it into a square, and...here's where my ghetto award comes into play: i stapled strips of cut bicycle innertube to both the top and bottom sides so it wouldn't wiggle out and fly away. It's lasted with nary a budge for months.

or NAPA sells brand new glue on rubber ends.

 

I'll probably pull my leaf again next year, and change the pucks out for the rubber ends. the rear of my car sits just a bit too high now for my likings.

Tried those, and they only lasted me year with the FAF leaf.

Not counting what my experience with these things has been before, how long are they **supposed** to last?
