Bent leafspring

leakedd · May 10, 2015

I noticed this after cleaning my Jeep after a trip to Uwharrie. I drove it over an hour home like this and didn't notice anything different. How bad would it be to drive like this for a couple of weeks?

EDIT: Also if anyone has some waggy springs for sell let me know!

Yeah I thought about trying to do that but I figured it'd spring right back up. I might mess with it some tomorrow

Jack the weight of the body off the spring first.

I bent some front leaves last fall. I took them apart and re arched them one at a time. They are still good. I did add a leaf to provide more support. I think my was caused by axle twisting and couldn't find the room for a torque arm. It was on the front with a D60
