Leaf Spings
Hey all,
does anyone know where i can pickup a couple of the leaf springs for the rear?
or is it a case of breakers only?
Cheers

Re: Leaf Spings
My suspension seems to have dropped on one side, changed the dampers so no better so im assuming the spring has been deformed from sideways abuse
they do look a lil warped from looking at them but the drivers is definitely a different shape

Re: Leaf Spings
If the loop is not closed around the bush then it suggest the spring is damaged

Re: Leaf Spings
They are both closed round the bush,it just seems that there are two different types.I've also noticed this on pics of other peoples cars.I should really take some pictures.
Re: Leaf Spings
Are you sure you arn't looking at the front and rear of the spring? Sorry for the big pic, you can't see the difference of the ends in a smaller version

Re: Leaf Spings
Open end at the front (under the rear seat) question mark at the rear (under the boot) from memory (and looking at the impact on the bent spring in my pic and remembering the crash), but check pictures in the green books!

Re: Leaf Spings
you can't fit the springs wrong way around as the centering point for the axle isn't located in the center of the leafspring.
