Re: Soggy rear leaf springs

There should be a spring shop in your area that can help you. Nowadays they mostly do big trucks but they can fix your car too. Look in the yellow pages or ask your favorite garage who they use.

The spring shop can take your springs off the car, rearch the leaves to restore the original curve, and usually they slip in an extra leaf to restore lost strength. Springs rearched in this way will last indefinitely. They will also put new bushings in the spring eyes.

Your car will sit higher in the back than it has for years, it might even seem too high until the springs flatten out and take a set.

Cost usually around $200 bucks.

For another $100 or so they can make you a new set of
springs.

They can also replace the front springs. Then your car will sit up like it did when new.

Have a set of new shocks put on at the same time for a real driving thrill.
