Default rear suspension issue

I bought my 67 camaro recently and driver side sits lower than passanger. I noticed that the shock plate in rear was the same one that was on passanger side, but it was flipped over. I hear that 67 camaros only came with a mono leaf spring. mine has 5. how do I go about finding a plate that will work with what I have, would a 68 style work for me.

the 68/69s are the same as eachother, while the 67 isits own piece.

68/69 still could have monoleaf springs.

if you have a multileaf pad, it will just be pretty much flat with on high raised side, if you have an adaptedmonoleaf pad under there (which I don't think you do), you will have two eye holes coming off of one side of the pad and another arm coming out the side 90 degrees from the two eyeholes

hope this helps?

thanks for the reply , but what I really need to know is if a shock absorbing plate off a 68 or 69 would work.

no, because shocks on a 67 both mounted up on one side of the rearend and 68/69 staggered their mounting points

the 67s are still widely available so you shouldn't have to be worrying about adapting a different year
