How many leaves should the springs have front and back?
How would you tell if your springs are worn out?
I'm new here and I have been amazed at the wealth of knowledge and the spirit of helpfulness shown by the members. Thank you for your help. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 140 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 140 | I don't know about the spring count, but to determine if your springs need to be replaced you first do a visual inspection and look for broken leafs. Next would be to check the ride height and compare it to factory specs. | | |
