I think my arse is sagging
« on: August 12, 2008, 08:24:39 PM »
had a look at the rear leafs today and I am a bit worried about their condition, best way i can describe it is instead oc a 'C' laying on its back it looks more like a 'S'

are they totaly shot or could a pair of add a leaf work?

find your nearest hgv garage go in and ask them who they use to repair there lorry springs get the no and they should be able to help that is if you wanna go the refurb route i can get them done by me but thats brum way
if you want new i prefer    four wheel drive hardware [4wd] in the states
