FAQ - Answer 1
A: Yes. Always consult the Vehicle Owner's manual or an expert technician before making any repairs or adjustments.
FAQ - Answer 2
A: No. There is no standard life expectancy for leaf springs or bushings. In general, leaf springs on smaller, light weight vehicles tend to last longer then leaf springs on heavier, full-sized vehicle's applications.
FAQ - Answer 3
A: Yes. The most common method of leaf spring inspection is checking the vehicle ride height. To measure, do not rely on eyesight alone. This method will only catch the extreme cases of spring sag or leaning. In addition to checking ride height, the following signs can indicate the leaf spring requires attention: Examine each spring for stress cracks, a missing leaf, or shiny spots between a leaf, and check for damaged bushings or bump stops.
