Rear Leaf, Shock, and Shackle Upgrades for the Pontiac Ventura II! From Lucore Automotive

A few weeks back we showed you the first initial video with this 1972 Pontiac Ventura II as it came to us with quite a few woes and in need of sorting out. With that first opportunity to look the vehicle over we noticed a few things that needed to be addressed, some we took care of at that point while others we had to order in some parts and make a plan. With parts arrived, it's time to get busy!

Step 1, replace the rear leaf springs with a matching set. Previously another shop had replaced one side (drivers side) but not the other (passenger side) which we thought was odd. Why would they do that? Well quickly we discovered the answer and the captured nuts had broken off and spun freely. But that's working on old cars they sometimes fight you!

So, out with the old leaf springs and worn out bushings. In with new. Out with the old air shocked, in with a brand new adjustable shock from Competition Engineering. In addition, new shackles and 3" t style shock extenders from McBay Performance to get our shock travel right where we want it. After all THAT is sorted out, a quick little plug wire set creation and we're back in business.

With all these new upgrades our customers 72 Ventura II is ready to get back on the road handling and riding MUCH better, while it may just be a Chevy Nova with a Pontiac nose... it's still one cool cool ride. Back to the customer and on the road for the weekend, until next time!
