adam_knox Posted June 4, 2009 Report Posted June 4, 2009 Replacing the leaf springs on the car this afternoon. Got the drivers side off. Laid it next to the new replacement...The original one has more of a bend to it than the new one! The manual also neglects to inform the mechanic that the supports for the rear bumper need to be removed in order to install the new spring. Which for most mechanics is an exciting discovery since they can charge more for labor. However, use pro-bono mechanics don't like surprises like this, as I just had the freakin' things off last summer and were a pain to put on, let alone the fact its a two-man job... Be warned author of the 1949 Chrysler repair manual, I will hunt you down!! ...and then I'll probably pester you with questions. Quote
