Default Re: Sagging Front Spring.

Hallo Alexis,

I have completely renewed the rear spring; that's comparable, I think?

The shackles and the spring were from Don Snyder III. The shackles fit without reworking in the bronze socket eyes of the spring. I have coated the individual spring layers with dry bonded coating with MoS2.

This work can be done well with some technical understanding.

For the front spring it shoud not necessarily to use a spring tensioner, there are some tricks. But I do not know if that can be dangerous.
