Re: help with my suspension please

Re: help with my suspension please
Ok, is the info in the manual as to checking the torsion, if so will make sure that's correct first, otherwise I will wait till i get replacement set of springs, thanks for the thought.

Re: help with my suspension please
If I swap left for right then I might as well swap 2/3 leafs from one side to other,it might sit more even until I get new quality ones, so other than rebush I will leave alone, thanks everyone.

Re: help with my suspension please
Ok might rebush both anyway, but will look for another set of springs as I don't like that you can see the difference above the wheels, thanks for the advice, Darren.

Re: fuel sender
Thanks guys, I have a gold speedo and that was the first thing I thought, however no luck, is removing the sender as simple as it looks and would I need a new gasket or can I use the old if good enough, thanks again.
