rear spring repair

corky.bailey

Sorry, know this subject is in the database but I have waded through 100s of threads and I give up trying to find it; have a 2007 EZ PDS that has a 3 leaf spring set up on the rear. Both sides, driver side more so, have kind of flattened out. In-lieu of purchasing new ones, can you put the original curve back in them via a press? Guessing a spring shop can give me some guidance but wanted the 1st input from the "experts" on GCs.

The bottom short springs on both sides are almost reversed (if that makes sense) Thinking about just flipping them over.

Anyway, Feedback appreciated.

The spring material fatigues with use. I think it is best to replace them.

scotty's right. they can be rearched at a good shop. but they won't last. do you have a rear seat? if you do you should go to a 4 leaf set up. otherwise you have to redo this in the future.

Not worth the hassle of removing and installing to re-arch them and then in a few months do it again when you realize that you should have bought new.

Ditto all of the above, same applies to off roading 4x4 with leaf spring suspensions. If you are going to pay, it is always better to pay once for quality and peace of mind.

I work for a local spring-shop,yes they can be re-arched to new specs or your own specs.(If done properly they will last,its' when they are done poorly that they fail)They can also be rebuilt(replace leaves with new ones,also thicker or more of them as required).Check pricing,you may be suprised!Hope this helps.
