Welding Rear Springs

[Bob Bidonde]

The eyes of the spring are functionally not part of the car's suspension, so concern about ruining the heat treatment is negligible. However, the eyes of the spring are structural in nature. If the eyes did not fail with their untreated wear, I doubt they will fail after welding.
If the worn spring was on my Model "A," i would replace that leaf as a minimum or the replace the hole spring.
