Title: rear leaf springs.. is this right ? Post by: coolaride on April 26, 2006, 08:39:53 PM hi
this doesnt look right to me .. the leaf that hangs underneath on both sides is why i`m asking this question . i thought they were all connected together . both sides look to be done the same.. would this be an add on at some stage ? did early wagons have a different set up ? maybe fe wagons had this set up ? or is this normal .. and i`m waisting peoples time ? hope someone can help c - ride :) (http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/coolaride/DSCN0243.jpg) (http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/coolaride/DSCN0242.jpg) (http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/coolaride/DSCN0241.jpg) Title: Re: rear leaf springs.. is this right ?

These are called uplifting springs often used when towing to stiffen up the suspension. They can also be used if the springs have sagged. I have a set on my car that go the full length of the leaf springs, I also have spare set just like yours. Cheers, Graham Title: Re: rear leaf springs.. is this right ? Post by: HAD 708 on April 27, 2006, 12:26:42 AM I Know them as override springs. I have a set fitted to my sedan that were dealer fitted from new as the original owner used to Tow a lot. They are a very good option even more so for wagons as they tend to need as much rear end support as possible.
