Eagle Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 A couple of people have commented on the way the leaf retainer bolt in the rear springs can start to wear a groove into the upper surface of the main leaf. I've seen that myself. Awhile back I took apart two pairs of broken MJ leaf packs, mixed and matched parts, and managed to put together two complete springs out of the parts from four. In the process I was reminded that not all MJ leaf springs have the retainer bolt in contact with the main leaf. On some there's about a quarter of an inch of clearance, as shown in this photo. Does anyone know which springs got the extra space and which didn't? These were all standard 3+1 MJ springs, no metric ton stuff here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 maybe a case of grabbing whatever retainer bracket was available when they originally assembled the leafs? (meaning that might be a MT bracket on that left one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
