Default Re: Front Leaf Spring

Brent - you mention re-arcing spring leaves in post #6. What’s involved in this?

I’ve just disassembled springs, wire-brushed individual leaves, ground ridges off, greased and re-assembled. Front springs on my current two cars seem to perform well and shackles are sitting well above the front axle. I have believed (with no data to back me up) that most original equipment on Model As is made of better quality steel than most replacement parts.
