Non-Mustang Ford & Mercury Models > Cougar 1967-73
Suspension color markings (Red sun roof 68 XR7-G, X code, DSO 84 )

8) Mostly looking for paint code markings for coil, leaf springs, & sway bar ? Any other paint code markings for other suspension parts would be of help too. I Appreciate any help from you all ! Eric

I am guessing that your Cougar is a 6.5 Litre, meaning a non-GT? A lot of the Cougar information hasn't been collected. XR7-G's all came from Dearborn, Michigan. You might have better luck asking your question at the classiccougarcommunity.com
Have you looked for a build sheet?

Going to be tough finding a copy of a car similar to yours for the front and rear springs
Would suggest that you
1- find and include the engineering number from the rear springs so that someone with a differently optioned car but with the same springs can offer usable help.
2- Measure the front sway bar so that others can provide marking info from other applications but with the same sway bar. (my guess would be green/yellow)
3- Driveline markings could be taken from another 390 automatic (X or S) built at the same time so you'll need to provide when the car was completed from a Marti report.
As mentioned above - finding your cars buildsheet will answer a fair number of your questions and will eliminate questions and reduce guessing ;)

Thanks for the Replies. I still need to get my Marti report done. I did find the original front coil spring paint marking from sanding. It was just one white mark on the inner side of the coil. The sway bar is the 15/16" version. Also, no build sheet was ever found >:(

The white mark you found was likely sprayed on rather than brush and a rating mark (over or under the prescribed numbers) rather than an identifying mark. But great that you found something
