This document is a single page of exploded parts diagrams covering the rear suspension of 1963-1982 Chevrolet Corvettes. It contains three labeled line drawings. The first, titled "63-82 Rear Spring," shows the transverse leaf spring assembly and its relationship to the trailing arm, including the spring outer mount kit, cushion, spring plate, and spring mount bolts. The second, "63-82 Rear Strut Rod," illustrates the strut rod assembly with its bracket, bracket bolts, camber adjusting bolt and cam, strut rod lip washer, nut, and the shock lower mount location on the trailing arm. The third, "65-82 Rear Sway Bar Components," details the rear sway (anti-roll) bar hardware: the retainer, bushings, "U" bracket and bracket bolts on the frame side, plus the rear link, link bracket, link plate, bushings, and bolts connecting the bar to the suspension. A reader can use this page to identify part names and assembly order/orientation of rear spring, strut rod, and rear sway bar components when disassembling, rebuilding, or ordering replacement parts for a C2/C3 Corvette rear suspension. No part numbers, torque specifications, or text instructions appear, only exploded views with component name callouts.
