Leaf Springs 2.8i

Post by Jack Walsh »

Hi, one of my leaf springs is starting to sag a little.

Does anyone have any advice as to where is the best place to get a replacement pair - and, also, what is a reasonable price?

Many thanks to anyone that can help.

Cheers.

Hi,
You can get new single leaf springs from all the usual specialists. Tickover sell them for £90 each. It may also be worth sending Martin at Caprigear a PM. He might be able to supply good used ones or maybe new ones.
I've not replaced any myself, but I have heard that some cheaper brands of leaf spring raise the ride height too much and have to be used with lowering blocks. I'm sure someone can shed some further light on this.
All the best,
Andrew.
