Hello,
Was that white paint on the front eye over sprayed on the bushing?  Anyone have clear pictures for this detail?

Sprayed on the bushing? Had not heard that reported or a picture of that before. Will wait and see what others will post.

It appeared to be sprayed on the rubber bushing end from examples observed. Don't over do it . Of course it varied but Typically once installed you could only see a little of the white peeking out.

No0 nice clean or perfectly clear but original 69 rear spring white markings that have been shared with me.




Have seen ONE car marked with white paint markings elsewhere on the rear leaf spring but since it is a single example we would want to find more before believing it was a typical standard marking. Likely the kid/person assigned to that task messing around out of boredom

I have seen dozens of the Shelby leaf springs over the years all marked with white in the same place . My observations along with a number of others with Shelby leaf observations seem to support the marking and the color in the bushing location to be most typical.
