Trying to identify a part name

Post by kommandant 95 » Sun Dec 18, 2022 5:21 pm

I'm trying to identify the proper name for the square U-bracket that holds the rear spring to the rear of the frame. There are 2 per car.

If anyone has one for sale I need one. (part found)

Thanks everyone for the information

According to the Ford Price List Of Parts, they are called "Rear Spring Clip".

Jeff, you are correct. Parts book describes part number 3833 as "Spring Clip". I have always called them rear "U Bolts". I thought the piece that hangs over the spring to keep the leaves aligned would be more appropriately called the "Spring Clip" . That one, part 3848 is actually called "Rear Spring Retainer Clip and Rivet". As they say, you learn something every day!
