Title: saggy arse syndrome
Post by: tree man on October 13, 2008, 06:52:26 PM
I cannot ignore the state of the rear springs on my Cheroke any longer as they will soon have gone inverted -  the Jeep does a lot of towing and/or is full of weighty stuff. Having changed many a leaf spring on old Landrovers I expect plenty of sweat, skinned knuckles and dirt in my eyes, but are there any pearls of wisdom you lot could pass on regarding Jeep spring replacement and can you recommend a good supplier. I've already been soaking them in oil off and on for several weeks. Cheers

if you buy from lighthouse you will ness to buy the front and rear bushes as well, fairly straight forward swap but the front bolts normally cause the problems as the bolts sometimes sieze in the bushes.
