I Want to Buy Suspension Parts - 1984 633

[Kenneth1948]

I have a 1984 633 with about 315k miles.

I didn’t pay much for it, all I want to do is make it a safe reliable driver, I certainly don’t plan to track the car or drive it at Autobahn speeds.

Although it runs and drives, the suspension is in sorry condition with rattles and “clunks” as well as zero damping from the shocks. The ride height looks right so the springs are probably stock and probably OK. I would consider lowering the car a little depending on availability of other springs.

I need to re-furbish the suspension, front and back.

Anyone parting out a car with good suspension parts with some life left in them? Perhaps you upgraded and want to sell your old parts?

All help is much appreciated, you can reply to this post or PM me. I’m located in coastal Carolina and could drive a few hundred miles to pick up parts or I can look into freight options from further away. thanks, John Kenneth

I'm not sure if you're in a hurry, but if you have a few weeks I'll be pulling those parts from the black death E24 in my backyard. Front passenger strut housing is wasted, but the rest looks like it might be functional. I'd presume it's all OEM, I'll know more once I pull the parts out.

In a fluke of circumstance, I'm actually heading down to Charlotte before the summer is over. I'm buying my brother's NC Miata, for my son, should be a fun road trip. Maybe I could take the coastal route? I'll be driving a rental car down, so I could drop these parts off on the way.

Sorry about the odd delivery constraints, but I'm pretty sure these parts wouldn't fit in the NC...and my SIL is intolerant about used car parts.

Thanks for the reply, timing would be OK, my car runs but it's not my daily driver. Wilmington is about 3-1/2 hours from Charlotte so it's quite a detour unless you want to come to the coast. It might make more sense for me to come to Charlotte. I looked at your post about the car, I found snake skins in one of mine too! I will compile a list of what I need and we'll see if we can make it work. Tnanks, John Kenneth
