New to me 93

[95cutlass]

Super stoked for this one! Just picked up this 93 tonight. One owner Michigan car! Not a spec of rust accept for around the windshield trim! Undercarriage looks virtually new! Has been sitting since 19, so some gremlins to work through! New top, but not a documented time of replacement. Has the usual oil leaks etc, and a horn / headlamp issue. But I am looking forward to getting acquainted with it! I think it’ll be a good pairing for my 95 as well.

Nice color, very clean looking. if you’re looking for parts there is a group called 5th generation cutlass supreme , also another group called LQ1  3.4 twin duel cam V6. Good luck with your new cutlass

Very interesting, you have both a rear sway bar and the auxiliary springs. I always thought it was one or the other.

Very nice find!

My 93 STE and 96 Cutlass sedan don't have the big rubber springs...but DO have sway bars.  But...my 91 International has BOTH.  Is that what you're referring too?

Here's the STE.

 

 

And then the International.

Thank you! I am part of the 5th generation group! But will have to take a look at adding the other one. It should make for a fun project for now!

Yes, those figure 8 shaped springs cushioning the lateral links. My `94 3100 CS only has these aux. springs while my `95 LQ1 Vert and TGP only have a rear sway bar. I thought it was one or the other and the two parts were not installed together. They must help "soften" the handling in the back in a way to give a smoother feel, at least thats the impression I feel when driving the `94 CS and TGP.

Interesting.  I think it's an early W body thing and dependent on whether it's a sedan, coupe, or convertible, (Cutlass line of course).  I think the newer cars maybe starting in 94 on...again, depending on body style, they just got a combination of those items.  

55trucker would know I bet.
