Question
how much labor hours to replace frt & rear leaf springs in a 47 lincoln continental

Answer
Back in he day when I was a young flat rate mechanic at a Ford Lincoln Mercury garage we were paid 1.5 hours per end for this job. But that was when the cars were close to new and there was little rust. the time for the job is going to depend on the rust, broken bolts, and bent parts.
