Welding Rear Springs

[8EL]

Thank You
McMaster-Carr was the source for materials:

Thrust bearing 5909K31 - qty 1
Hardened washer 5909K41 - qty 2
4140 tool steel blank 6607K51 - qty 1 1" hex x 12" long

Threads are 1/2- 20 UNF

Real busy now, but will see about making a dimensional drawing in the future.....

One last think I might add here before I go to work, I located the seam in the bushing on the outboard side of the spring eye as to provide a seamless bearing surface on the top and bottom of the bushing for load considerations....

Thanks 8EL, I appreciate the information and look forward to your drawing. In the meantime I will look on McMaster-Carr. They are very handy and I use them quite often.

Update, the hardened washers, I think are 5909K44 instead of 5909K41

If I am seeing correctly that is a reverse Eye spring? I don’t think that makes any difference regarding the question asked and the answers given. Maybe I’m seeing things? Maybe the owner doesn’t know what he’s got?

Looks like a standard rear spring to me, but installing bushings is the same for both

Springs can be dangerous, if you dont know what you are doing, if you can get someone who is knowledgeable to help you give it a try.

It is a standard rear spring.

Yes, the 5909K44 is the correct washer, thanks
