Even though I haven't had much trouble with the rear springs on my Packards, It must have been a recurrent problem when they were i regular service. In the Packard service counselor for September of 1949 page 2 it lists part number 410732. A new leaf spring. It states " A new rear spring leaf has been released for use in the liner type springs when a complaint of bottoming or sagging is received. The new leaf will raise the rear end of the car approximately 3/4 inch." This new leaf was to replace the second leaf of the original.
