1950 Leaf spring question


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I installed a new set of leaf springs. They were delivered from CPR and look like the springs that were in my car.

Should these springs be straight or a kind of "pre-bent"? The springs I received are straight. Are both springs identical or is there a left and a right type?

The reason for this question:

When I look from behind under the car along the springs I noticed that they sit a little "strange". The hangups for the spring are not in a line and so I have to bent the spring a bit. The result is a big pressure to the fixing screws. Is that ok?

Thanks ahead

Wilhelm

hi wilhelm, pictures would help, yes it's true the front hangers are a little more closer left to right than the rear hangers are.
