Leaf spring advice req

<< < (3/4) > >>

hobbit:
You should be able to get it repaired, need a specialist but I imagine it can be done, its still in one piece, and needs heating, straightening and tempering, other than that a replacement leaf may be an option, if the suppliers do them, if not  the suppliers manufacturer might be able to help

datalas:
if the leaf is damaged, especially on a parabolic which has fewer then I would advise either getting the spring repaired (if the manufacturer suggests it's possible) or replcament.  They won't have added an extra leaf for a laugh, and if it snaps on the road it'll potentially cost you a lot more than a spring does....

stratie:
In you're email did you send them a pic?
If you did, then they are going to tell you that's what happen's when you run parabolics and 109 extended shackles.

datalas:
If that's the picture, forget repairing it, it's toast, replace it.

Both of the straighter springs show signs of contortion and not being remotely the correct shape, I wouldn't be happy running on it personally.

Agreed, not worth the effort, removing the leaf will have you lob sided and probably not legal, but I'd say just get a single spring, or if you can afford it a pair, so if you do something like it again you have a spare :wink:
