Notes
The factory shop manual describes upper- and lower-arm independent front suspension with ball joints, coil springs between the lower arms and spring housings, double-acting shocks, and a linked stabilizer bar. Its hardtop rear-spring table specifies four leaves, 60-inch spring length at normal load, and 880-920 pounds capacity at normal load, directly encompassing the two- and four-door Marauder hardtops. The manual separately identifies the front and rear shocks as direct-acting hydraulic units that are nonadjustable and nonrefillable. These service and body-style specifications do not identify front spring rates or dimensions, stabilizer diameter, service part numbers, powertrain applications, running changes, or the equipment installed on an individual car.
