Re: Wanted. Leaf spring
Hi,
Given that you most likely don't know the age of the spring on the car and how much it may have sagged over time, perhaps it might be a good idea to buy a pair.

Re: Wanted. Leaf spring
I spoke to Martin and he gave the same advice, best to change the pair.
He didnt have any in stock so suggested ordering a pair from CCI. Whilst im at it i'l go for new U bolts as they always break , a pair of shackles and eye bolts. The rear shockers dont look to have been replaced recently so Ive got a pair of monroe gas shocks on their way to complete the job.

I love that feeling of fitting loads of new parts at the same time for the same area.
I'm the one who leaves all those shoes in the carriageway.

Me too, although I'm not so keen on the empty feeling in my wallet afterwards.....Major_Tom wrote:I love that feeling of fitting loads of new parts at the same time for the same area.
