Re: Leaf Spring Removal

I finally decided to tackle my leaf springs to see if I could fix the rear drivers side which is sitting a bit low. I started pulling things apart and right away I found that the smaller leaf is broken. All excited thinking I found the problem, I went and robbed one from my parts car, cleaned everything up, gave things a coat of paint, put everything back together, and...............it's the same. Well that's disappointing....

Maybe that broken leaf is only a symptom of another problem, such as a weak leaf or maybe more than one. Maybe I'll pull it apart again and see how they compare to the ones on the parts car. Maybe I can swap all but the main leaf and cure the sag??? Maybe I should swap the leaves from the passenger side to the drivers side? Or maybe I'll take both decks off and take them to the spring shop....

More adventures coming soon!
