    FRONT & REAR SPRINGS. FIRST. WEEKLY-Tighten spring U-bolts,eye bolts,shackles... SECOND. MONTHLY & SIX-MONTH-Spring and bolts should be in place,spring leaves should not be shifted out of their correct position,note if the deflection of both springs is normal and approximately the same,test the bolts for excessive wear by means of a pry bar,make certain that no leaves are broken or shifted,examine springs for demage and sagging conditions,that spring clips are tight and that spring is in good condition,check spring U-bolts and spring seat clamp studs for tightness. SIX-MONTH-Tighten all spring U-bolts securely and uniformly.

    Pic 253-1)Noticed great worn in the iron bright of the bolts.2)Spring bolts improperly and without lubricant fittings.3)Worn bushing.4)Different spring length. Pic 254-Improperly shackle. We will have to remake these two front spring like as we did in the rear last year.This work will be more long and delayed.:rolleyes:

    DollyDodge,then I guess your problem is left king pin.Change both.*PS:When I changed the steering arm I changed too the two end package of drag link(not original).
  12. Fernando Mendes
    the wear on one front tire indicated the king pins might be lose.(DOLLYDODGE wrote).In my case that was more clearance in the steering arm.
