GLT leaf spring looks quite soft, 12,55kN/m, that can't be true and I'm not sure from my LBS-in to kN/m conversion if that is somewhat wrong then, but maybe someone can take a look and spot something...

Also I'm not too sure of width of leaf spring, length and thickness should be correct.

I'll see what I can do Aymat! Remind me!

Thanks Pete!

I read this on my GLT leaf springs:

201 761 W > do you have that too?

6/87 (must be the year of production)



The number on my actual 360 GLS springs is: 205 441 W ...

360 GLT pt.no. 3201761

Now I got it The 6 last numbers without "3" are on the springs...

I have the confirmation now! I have non-GLT springs, the GLS springs aren't good

Thanks for the info Mac!

Edit: uploaded revised version of calculator (link above), got now conversion right and rear spring rate for 360 gls springs is approx 32000 N/m

If you add 2nd leaf, rate goes up to over 88000 N/m if that american formula is correct...
